Question : Invalid Mac Address in both cmos and dmi???  how do i fix??

I recently bought a k7vt6 motherboard and finally got it running
with the exception of being able to access the internet.
At startup before Winxp sp1 loads i get a message saying
"Invalid MAC address in both CMOS and DMI"
In WinXP Sp1 i ran CMD and IPCONFIG /all and my
Physical address reads FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF

I then Download a program and purchased A-Mac address changer 3.01
and managed to change the mac address to an addres valid for a VIA Rhine II fast ethernet
it reads it under IPConfig /all but i still get that message at startup and the internet still doesnt work

What do I need 2 do?

Im Pulling out my hair on this one So any help would be greatly appreciated

run Regedit
and open following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-

    11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Trere are listed different notwork adapters (0001 ,0002,0003 )
and when you found the right NIC Add the key NetworkAddress(REG_SZ) and enter new MAC adress for example 112233445566
