Hi all. I've just installed Zorin 17 Pro and my ethernet connection keeps trying to connect and failing. Rarely it manages to do it but then drops off after a bit. My wifi is working better since I changed the automatic DNS to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4. Applied the same to the wired connection, but no improvement. The wifi connection works better when I have the wired one turned off.
I was having the same problem with Zorin 16 Pro and Ubuntu 24.04 before that. However my Windows 11 machine works fine with both wireless and wired connections. I should add that both machines ethernet cables are connected to this network splitter adapter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CHJD52LH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1), but since the Windows machine works ok with it, I assume it might be a problem with the Linux distros configuration. Any help at all would be appreciated.
