I am getting this error message repeatedly in Windows LiveMail. I click to indicate I want to go online, and the error message just repeats. Not a problem with my ISP or Internet connection since other computers on the network access my email OK. OS: Windows 7 Home Prem. Any suggested fixes?

Problem fixed so I'll post solution here in event someone else has a similar situation:

In IE 10, go to File tab and click on "Work Offline". Then, click on that option to uncheck the item. Now Windows Live Mail should mysteriously start to work again. This fix is necessary even though you may not use IE as your default browser. Really dumb and it's one of those easy fixes that you can't believe will work, but it does.
