You will need to post details of the network card... Generally it means either loading the correct module for the network card (if its present in your current kernel) or recompiling the kernel to add support. I'd advise you to learn a bit more about Linux networking in general... Have a look at the following HOWTOs.
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/index.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/index.html
and maybe
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html

Once you have the network card setup that's the worst of it done, the rest of the setup is just getting an IP address, often done via your ISP's DHCP server, however this might not be the case, depends on ZoomTown's setup.

HTH - have a fight with it and post your specific questions back on the forum.

Jamie...
