Can't connect it to what? Are you trying to setup your Live account in
Outlook 2007? Try these account settings. (P. S. This is the Vista
Windows Mail newsgroup, there's a separate one for Outlook where this would
be more suitably addressed. And, don't post with your real email address or
you'll receive a lot of SPAM.)

Live.com Settings:

Server names and ports:
POP3 = pop3.live.com Port = 995
SMTP = smtp.live.com Port = 587

Checkboxes you need to check include:

Server Tab: "My server requires authentication" (Click "Settings" button
also and fill in "Log on Using" email address - *** but do NOT check the
checkboxes there . . . .)

Advanced Tab: BOTH outgoing and incoming - "This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)"

General Tab (if desired but generally recommended): "Include this account
when receiving mail or synchronizing"

Should work - if you get errors post the entire error message (cut-n-paste)
for further assistance.
