Not sure if this applies but I just loaded the trial and had the same problem and the only way I got it to connect was to run as administrator in windows 7
well at least I'm not the only one having problems getting on, but if they are working on the servers or putting up the patch as the previous poster said, they could at least make a thread here for us to know about it.
I would hazard a guess and say it has to do with the fact that Champions Online has a big update today. I think (I may be wrong) that both games share the same login server. Currently, my Champions Online update is painfully slow and I had to try many times to get my STO login to connect.
I did however succeed just a minute ago to get into STO.

Cool site. I hope they are putting up the patch.
That site has been displaying the exact same servers up/down since the beta.

It may just be a traffic issue.
