static ip address on a network bridge

Hi,
Just want to point out something I have found on Vista. When I set a static
ip address on a network bridge it never saves the gateway ip the first tim
you set it. Go back in and set it again and it works fine.

I just tried setting a network bridge with a static IP, and didn't see an
issue. Would you mind posting exactly how to reproduce this? Are the
adapters you're bridging configured a particular way that causes this to
happen, for example?

I am using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless USB adapter and the onboard network
adapter of a HP Workstation XW6200 which is a broadcom gigabit adapter. I can
reproduce it every time. I just selected both adapters in manage network
connections then click bridge connections after thats completed I right click
the bridge set the ip address, SNM, gateway and DNS servers click apply and
then ok and when I try to connect to the internet it doesn't work. Go back
into the properties of the bridge and the gateway address isn't there.
