Problems with Router

[Andrew Alexander]

Hey,

I joined this list a while back and am encountering some issues with my 
connection on my ZIO router.  I have tried the support forums and IRC, among 
other things but being a noob I can't seem to get what I need.

Anyways - I read that cheaper routers will often have an issue with Ubuntu 
that it will hang before it connects - that is exactly what I am 
experiencing.  I made some changes to Firefox's about:config to disable ipv6 
which definately sped it up and made it bearable - but I am still getting 
between 3-6 seconds of lag before it opens the connection to the page.

It works fine when I do not have the router connected.

Like I said - I am a noob and still need to be walked through things 
carefully so all I ask is that you don't make assumptions on how to do 
something because I may not know (although I am getting a whole lot better)

Configuration:

AMD 2500XP
ASUS A7N8X MOBO - using onboard NIC (nforce2 chipset)
1GB Ram
Dual Booting XP and Ubuntu 6.10 - currently running in KDE mode - but it is 
Ubuntu core.
ZIO wireless router (laptop is only device using wireless - running windows)


Thank you - I hope you can help me - normally I wouldn't post on here but I 
don't know where else to look.
