I set it up again and found four things

1) I CAN reach google play (music) from any interface on the cero box.
2) I cannot reach youtube from any but the interface it is on
3) I cannot reach either service from any other hop on my network.
4) youtube HD pounds my already overburdened 2.4ghz network flat
