If the router has multiple network ports on the back, just
plug in you ethernet cable and you should be good-to-go.
Make sure that if you are using DHCP from the router that
there is no static IP on the new box. If there is a static
IP address clear the addresses and choose "obtain
automatically".
BTW- if it is a router, you probably don't really NEED
Zone Alarm running. Try disabling it temporarily while you
are doing your setup.
