I agree with rincewind. The error messages when trying to sync with a computer are very confusing. If you just want to test that your iLiad can connect to the network/internet, then make sure you're connecting to "iDS" and not "computer" from the screen that pops up right after you hold the connect button.

There is a whole big list of potential problems when trying to connect to a computer, and they all show up as "unsuccessful" on the iLiad. It's really difficult to figure out exactly what the failure is.

Also, if you're running an ethernet cable from your iLiad to your PC in order to get internet access, you need to make sure that "internet sharing" is enabled on the PC (I think it's turned off by default?).
