Hi.
It took me a while to find this fix with google, so I'm posting it here so
hopefully others find it easier.

I have a wired network and an ad-hoc wireless network (with a Netgear MA111)
bridged on a Windows XP machine, which is also connected to broadband. The
wired side ran fine but the wireless side ran very slowly (around 500kbps).
It ran at full speed when out of the bridge. The fix for this was:

1. Run cmd (start, run, type cmd)
2. type : "netsh bridge show adapter". Check which number is your wireless
adpater.
3. type : "netsh bridge set adapter x forcecompatmode=enable", where x is
the number of your wireless adapter.

After I ran this, the network ran at full speed in the bridge.
