Imagine I am trying to connect my smartphone to the net. The problem is that I am sitting in a train and the connection is not working .
What can I say " I am having difficulties to be connected to the net or have difficulties to be connected to the net."
I think the first one is better because it is not working now but should be later. the connection is supposed to work in a train where it is written Wifi .
"Difficulty" is followed by a gerund, not an infinitive. But you are correct that you should use the present continuous here:
I am having difficulties connecting to the net.
