Hi All,

I have a zoom adsl 5551 x4 modem.
Modem has both usb and ethernet outputs.
Ethernet output is connected to a remote computer here in office.
I normally (in my previous win os)connect using usb.
I installed FC4 new.
But can not connect to internet using usb port of zoom modem.
(this is not an usb modem)

Thanks For any help

Attila

Ethernet is the way to go with linux. You are asking for a headache if you want to get the USB connection working (but you can go ahead and try....).
I suggest you get yourself a cheap router or switch, and use that to connect to the ethernet port of your modem:

Code:

[Modem]------[Switch]-----Ethernet-----[Office computer]
                |
	        |
	        +---------Ethernet-----[Your computer]
