Remix 3.0.102 on eeePC901 - Can't get play store/services to work "There was a proble

Everything is functioning way better than expected, and very snappy as well, however, I am stuck getting play services/store to work on it. Had the prior 3.0 version installed as well, same issue. Did everything I could find online anywhere, clearing caches/memory, etc, etc, voodoo chants and all, no change. Start the play store or account setup and get "Couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later."

Anyone have any ideas? Installs apps from the "App Store" just fine, connectivity has no issues, just the Google Play/account services seem to have something buggy, at least on this machine.

TIA,
Marcus
