Hello everybody, i'm totally new to this world called Linux, so i decided to install Linux Mint, but now i have a problem, i connect to internet through a Zyxel P-600 router, it's configured already to connect directly once the PC is turned on, it connects perfectly on Windows platform but in Linux Mint it doesen't, i tried some commands and stuff... My network card is installed correctly, i can see lo and eth0 typing ifconfig.
I tried to run the interface and program an automatic auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp/static and both failed, i think the router is not recognized by Linux because i can't access to the router config through Firefox typing 192.168.1.1, i have the same problem in other distros, i hope you can help me, thanks you in advance.

Please post the output of the following command. You may in fact need to install different drivers for your network card. At just to confirm; you have a wired connection to the router?

Ah. Please share the output of the following command:
If it shows the state to be connected and it shows an IPv4 address, the problem is probably your DNS resolution. Run the following command and that should hopefully fix it:

No good results, it's constantly trying to connect, and past 6 minutes it says "Failed to connect, you are now offline", i typed nm-tool command 2 times, when it was trying to connect, and when it failed.
