One of the most common problems when accessing the Android Market is that you date and time settings are wrong.

Try going into Settings>Applications and clearing the cache for the Play store app and then rebooting.

I can only assume you have a valid Google Mail account and that was what you used to sign up your tablet? Just checking.

Not through the Play store itself, on the tablet settings. Go to Settings>Apps>Google Play Store then you should have the options Force stop, Uninstall updates, Clear data and Clear cache. To be thorough you can Force stop then clear data then clear cache and reboot.

Yes, try that. How is it you don't have Play Store? Market was updated quite sometime ago to become Play Store. Once rebooted look to see if there is a Play Store update assuming this allows you to connect to the "Market" again.

Just a shot.

Get rid of the market. It is possible that there is some corruption and therefore PLAY is not coming down. Then make sure that it is completely removed - once confirmed. Reboot and download app from Google, installment, Then see how it goes.
