Photoshop CS6 Extended Beta Sign In problem

Question

I have downloaded and Installed the Photoshop CS6 Extended Beta, however there is a problem when I try to sign in. Here's my detailed summary of what happens:
- I press the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Icon in my menu bar.
- This opens a window which its Title says 'Sign in required', and below it  'Please sign in with your Adobe ID to use your trial of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended.'
- I press the 'Sign in now' button at the bottom right of the window.
- The window changes into a darker shade of grey while there is a dark circular loading wheel at the place where the button was.
- The window stops loading and this appears: ' Please connect to the Internet and retry' and a paragraph which follows 'Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. An Internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again. If this problem persists, please contact Customer Support.'
- There are now two buttons in the bottom right corner of the window. 'Cancel' or 'Retry'
I have retried many many times with this same error always occuring. I have synced my clock, I have made sure i'm connected to the Internet, I just dont know what to do anymore.

Hi Enneite P:
Let's see what we can see here:
1. Try going into a web browser and connecting to both of these addresses:
https://www.adobe.com/
https://www.acrobat.com/
Let us know if you can get to those ok! Testing firewall functionality with Adobe.com addresses.
After that, please let us know the results of clicking these links in succession
2. Try going into a web browser and connecting first to
https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/
and secondly to:
https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/status
Let us know here what you see, or if you get errors.
Thanks!
