Help, can't connect at all with InternetFiltering enabled and ADSL !

Heya.... please help me cos'im going really mad eheheheh
I'm trying to evaluate Lns as a possible fw to use, but really i can't get it to work if i enable the packet filter (internet filtering).
I've tried all the possible workarounds, included the rules on the Lns site for Internet ADSL, Aol, etc....
My problem is simple, if i enable the internet filtering, i can't connect anymore with my ADSL
I've searched thru the forum, but haven't found anything interesting....

My configuration is XP-SP2, LNS 2.05p2, and i connect thru PPPOE (using raspppoe) over a 3Com HomeConnect DualLink (ethernet).

I just get a lot of blocked packets like this :

20/01/05,06:07:10 Addition, Uplink packet:
0000:FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 40 .@

0008:F4 27 80 F5 3C 12 11 09 ¶'ǧ<↕◄.

0010:00 00 00 1B 01 01 00 03 ...←....

0018:49 53 50 01 03 00 10 52 ISP...►R

0020:53 50 45 00 00 00 00 66 SPE....f

0028:1B 35 A9 AD FE C4 01 ←5®¡■─.

Rule is "All other packets", type ETH, Address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, type Ethernet:3C12

If i disable the packet filtering, all works well.... but i don't consider this as a workaround

Any tip ?!

After a quick look at Google I can say that this is a known problem with these modems. There also can be frames of type 3C13.
You may try to add a rule just before the last one, allowing ethernet traffic between your MAC and your modem's MAC. But make sure, that in earlier rules all other types of packets are properly blocked.

hi man, thanks for the reply. What could i search for google on the subject ? I tried but haven't found anything interesting....
btw, i've managed to let it work adding these rules. I couldn't find where to add the "Ethernet types" 3C12/3C13, so i made them generic using the Source/Destination i have from the log.
Can you tell me if these are ok, and if it possible how to add'em for the specific ethernet types ?

Search for something along "ethernet 3c12 3com".
I do not have LnS to test these.
One rule should be enough.
Direction - inbound/outbound; Ethernet: type Other; Ethernet adresses: your NIC and your modem. Put it just before Stop all rule. You may test directions- maybe just inbound will be enough.
You cannot explicitly define Ethernet packet type.
