error 815 connecting through WAN miniport (PPOE)

I've just begun using my new laptop and have encountered a problem. I've set
up a wireless router, use a cable modem and both are working great. Now, when
I go into Ebay the "Connecting to Broadband" Error 815 . . . . appears. I
close it down and in a minute it reappears. I have now idea what is going on.
I'm connected with no problem through my wireless router and have no idea why
this is happening, I do have a modem (for dial-up) installed on this computer
(it came that way) but have no reason to active or use it.

How can I disable this? Thanks!!

I am having a similar issue so thought I would add a post and see if
anyone can assist.

My internet has been working fine until 2 days ago when it suddenly
stopped working. I am using Vista and direct ethernet connection from
laptop to modem.

I have called the ISP (Comcast) and they have checked all the settings
on my computer. The network connection is working properly, as I am
able to connect to internet from another computer with XP installed.
However, the two computers I have with Vista don't work, both getting an
error 815 message.

ISP suggested I call Microsoft, as they have a note that this is a
Vista patch issue, however Microsoft won't provide tech assistance until
I have called the manufacturer. Both versions of Vista are OEM copies,
but the manufacturers are different.

The laptop works fine using a different cable connection, I have tried
resetting the modem, powering off everything, changing registry
settings, deleting and re-adding the Broadband PPPoE network setting,
and accessing the modem to add MAC addresses (but can't get in using
10.1.1.1 or 192.168.254.254).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
