That means that for some reason or other your computer is unable to connect to your STB. Some possibilities - the ethernet cable is damaged, the STB needs re-booting, your Network Interface Card needs new drivers.

Taking them one at a time, I think you said you had already tried swapping the ethernet cable and you've rebooted the STB so that leaves the NIC.

Try this. Press the Windows key and Pause/Break key together. That will bring up the System Properties window. Click on Hardware, Device Manager. Click on the + sign next to Network Adaptors. Do you see a yellow ? or ! against any entry? If not, can you tell me what entries you have under Network Adaptors?

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
