AFAIK, it is not specific to the modem, but rather the driver used by Microsoft for Broadband connections.

I'm using a driver from http://www.raspppoe.com/ to overcome this.

Does it work on all sites?

What I have found is that the "slave" PC's work fine, until you want to enter a secure site, then it get stuck.

Shortcoming in the MS driver. These buggers (MS) actually knows about it, but don't do anything about it.

When I enquired about it, the MS support personel referred me to the site I quoted above.

Installed and working perfectly since.

THANKS ALOT GOING TO INSTALL THE DRIVER AND GIVE IT A TEST.
