Hi jacklamlan ,
I am assuming that you have all the appropriate permissions in the service to make this connection. Assuming that you can, the first thing that I think of in this type of situation is whether or not your network is allowing the connection to go through. If it just spinning I am wondering if it is in a timout situation but for whatever reason not letting you know about it. I would suggest using a network trace like Fiddler and determining if it is being blocked. If it is not being blocked, then I think the next best bet would be to open a ticket with Microsoft.
