Or you could manually type in a new "Network address" in the properties for the network interface card.

You're mixing up the MAC address and the IP address now. The MAC address is only used to
uniquely identify a network adapter on a LAN.

oops, apparently some ISP's require you to register and always use a certain MAC address but
none of the ones I've used here in Sweden (a lot) require you to do that.

Setting a permanent IP is done in the TCP/IP settings. I clearly stated that I was talking about the
network interface card properties.

As I said, it's in the NIC properties and not in the TCP/IP properties.

It's very easy in Windows 2000 (or newer) provided that the NIC driver supports it.

Bring up the list of hardware, expand the "Network cards" branch select properties on the NIC,
click on the "Advanced" tab. There you should be able to set the "Network address".

And this "bug" doesn't involve memory patching?

Uh... just have to wait and hope that they change their mind then...
