I have SBC-Yahoo DSL and have no problem with Enternet 300. Do you know that you
don't necesarily have to surf the internet using the Yahoo browser (which I dont
like too much)? that instead you can just let the manager connect you to the internet
and then run Internet Explorer to surf? you don't have to sign in to yahoo at all.
You can set any homepage you want.
Anyway, I dont have the specific answer to your question but thought this could help.
Bye.

A little more expensive, but better way around the problem for all systems, is
to buy a good router (like the Linksys BEFSR41 - $50 or less at Best Buy). They have
a built-in inbound Firewall (a little better than the in-bound Firewall in Windows
XP). Or even go with a wi-fi router.
Good Routers have the PPPoE logon option built in. You give the router the user
ID and the password, and it does the signon and keeps the link active as long as
it is powered on. You then set you system to get its DCHP assigned IP address from
the router. And IE and all programs use TCP/IP through the network card to access
the Internet.
Once setup this way, the Ethernet 300 software is no longer needed. This even
works with AOL systems. The big advantage is when you want to hook up a second system.
Just plug it into the router through a Network port and you can share the IP address.

Thank you to the both of you for helping me with this. I think I have also found
a different work around. I personally do not have SBC Yahoo DSL, but I know that
it has problems with MSN8 and their Email service. but it seems that installing RASPPoE
protocal would work. Everyone tell me what you think. The link is http://www.raspppoe.com.
Thanks,
Sean W.
