    Go into the network settings menu and make sure its 'active' with a green light and that the setup is set to DHCP 'on'.

        Follow this procedure
        1.Set dhcp to off reboot
        2.Set dhcp to on reboot

        If you still have problems try rebooting your router too.

          Has your mates box got the same firmware as yours?

          If You Tube shows a list of headings, then it is connecting to the internet. Updating to latest firmware should also allow you to watch them.

              download the newer firmware and see if it helps..... extract the file, load it onto a pen drive and then upgrade using 'Tools' menu
