Hello, I am new to Linux. Have just installed Zorin core and I like what I see so far. The only problem I have is the internet is very slow compared to my windows install on the same computer. Can anyone help with this one ?

Thanks

Tim

If this is an ethernet issue, this could be the problem as posted by barryrowns on Reddit:

Here we go, found a YouTube video (link below, not my video) from a guy explaining this. If you have an Intel network card, Windows enables Wake-On-Lan so that the machine can be remotely started when shutdown. Unfortunately, this prevents Ubuntu from taking full control of the card. In this case, however, the network doesn't work at all in Ubuntu, while you're network just seems to run a lot slower. This pertains to wired Ethernet connections, though, so maybe it really is a driver issue. But hope this might be able to help someone else.
