Ah, well, can't help you there. Sorry.

For a Mac, you simply drag the interface above the other interface in the list to prioritize it. I dunno how you do it in XP.

Google is your friend.

1.Open Network Connections.

You can see the available connections in the LAN and High-Speed Internet section of the Network Connections window.
2.On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings, and then click the Adapters and Bindings tab.3.In the Connections area, select the connection that you want to move higher in the list. Use the arrow buttons to move the connection.

Notes •The Adapters and Bindings tab lists the connections in the order in which the connections are accessed by network services. The order of these connections reflects the order in which TCP/IP or the next available protocol is bound to the network adapters. The bindings for remote access connections apply to all remote access connections.•The Provider Order tab lists the network providers for this computer. You can use the arrow buttons to change the order in which these providers are accessed. You can arrange the order in which the computer accesses information about the network. Providers and other connections are accessed in the order in which the providers and the connections are listed.

I will be completely honest with you.

They are.

I have a Macbook Pro and can't get over how much easier OSX is to use compared to Windows. It would definitely be nicer to be able to game on it, but I can at least use bootcamp for that.
