Can anyone help me? :confused:

Hi

Never heard of the two you named.
Have a look at DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD., most - if not all - of those distributions should connect you 'out of the box' to the internet as long your wired cable is pluged in.

Hope this helps and have fun trying :slight_smile:

EDIT:
On 2nd thought, maybe you could try to run:

su
dhclient -B &

And see if it works after.

What is your computer? Hardware matters.

Pick a well-known distribution such as Ubuntu, CentOS or ArchLinux and you will find lots of information about dual booting and network connectivity.

In general, Linux network connectivity depends on having the right driver for your network card installed and then configuring the network connection correctly. How you configure networking depends on the distribution and version.

Dual booting Windows and Linux depends on hardware (BIOS, UEFI firmware or other), version of Windows, whether Windows Secure Boot is enabled or not, whether you have separate disks for each OS or not, and more.

2 things number one I have tried in fact I installed after and that is when Internet worked on my system and it freezes to much so I switching to a different distro

Also Internet is not working on live
I never install zorin or anything the Internet just won't work on live so I'm scared to install them cause then the Internet may not work after there installed so I have to a a full

Try to check the IP address of the box by issuing the command

# ipconfig �a

Check if you are getting the IP address

Try and run commands:

# ifdown <Ethernet interface>
#ifup <Ethernet interface>

Also check the file

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<Ethernet interface>

As Corona688 already asked, what hardware is this?

Perhaps the network interface chipset is known to Windows but not Linux (unless you load the driver separately).

Please answer post#3.
