O.k, I installed the os and it works great. Plug in my wifi usb and the computer sees it and tells me there is wifi available. Look at available networks and mine is listed, click on it and it asks me for my pass phrase. All is normal to this point but when I enter the pass phrase the computer tells me wrong one. It is in fact the right one. ??????

I use this pass phrase for all my other computers and a cell phone, so the phrase is right. Its definitely a software issue within zorin.

ok...
the results of(?):
Code:
lsusb


then try:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot


if you have the same problem maybe you must remove network-manager and install Wicd.

Silly question maybe but did you have shift lock pressed when you entered the password??.
