Hi,
just wondered if anyone has tried to use zorin on a zoom adsl router - its ancient but its what my parents have at home, which is where I'm stuck for easter revision. I can use the network on this router if i use a wired connection, but that knocks out the wirless for everyone else (unpopular!). has anyone come across this diffuculty before? would be great to get it working so I can get on and revise!

What is exactly the problem? Can you laptop connect wirelessly? (not specifically to the Zoom adsl router, but in general).

I apologise but I cannot clearly understand the problem.

Using a network cable shouldn't knock out the wireless unless you limited bandwidth!!.

There might be a switch which automatically shuts down one of the methods of connection, you would need to access the router and check!!.
