Default Set Network Bridge MAC address (Was: XP prefers ad-hoc ...)

OK, a different approache which works! I have the wired LAN talking. And
the ad-hoc WiFi working. So, in the "Network connections" I simply
created a network bridge between the two. It works! My Palm TX can now
surf the net!

One problem though, my XP box now generates a different MAC address
everytime it comes up. This makes it impossible to give the XP box a
fixed IP address using DHCP on the DSL router. How do I give the network
bridge a specific MAC address? I'd like to use the MAC address of my
wired NIC PCI card.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven
