I requested ADSL service from www.295.ca and can make a
connection with their server, but as soon as I attempt to
browse a Windows MsgBox appears..

Title: Windows Fatal Application Exit
Message: MacTransferData: Invalid buffer tag.

C:\WINNT\system32\FWDRV.SYS

Line 163E9 (hex) "MacTransferData: Invalid buffer tag.
Kerio Personal Firewall has detected a conflicting software. Kerio Personal
Firewall cannot work together with certain types of software such as another
personal firewall or some special network software such as VPN clients or
PPPoE protocol driver (when incorrectly implemented). Solution: Remove any
software that can possible interfere with Kerio Personal Firewall as described
above."

295.ca provide PPPoE client software by Efficient Networks (who appear
to now be part of Siemens). They also provide a Gnet BB0060B modem
(www.gentek.com) which runs in "RFC 1483 Bridged Mode" to run the PPPoE
software.

Has anyone else seen this sort of problem?

I have been advised that http://www.raspppoe.com/ is a free, downloadable
PPPoE Client that works with Kerio/WinRoute/Tiny firewall.

It's a driver, not a client. And yes, it works pretty well.

Thanks, that comforting to know.

It sounds like you have both the modem and the OS doing pppoe. Only one can
be doing pppoe sign in. Check the modem and if you can enter your user ID
and password there and have it do pppoe is best. Then disable the pppoe
program on the operating system.

It wasn't as simple as that. The ISP insisted on using their PPPoE software. The
manufacturer of the modem explained to me that the modem had to be
reprogrammed into another mode, a mode incidentally that the ISP did not
support, in order to use the PPPoE software embedded within the modem.
The modem manufacturer also said that there was no guarantee that I wouldn't
experience the same incompatibilty with their embedded PPPoE software.

I have since cancelled my service with 295.ca and returned the modem.
