linux routing

[kavra]

Hi. I am performing a wifi domestic network which has a wifi router as heart of the net.
I want to assign static IPs for the computers hanging on the router, and I,ve deactivated DHCP server on router.
For starting the network connection in every computer (each runnig linux: Suse 10.1, Suse 10.3, Slackware 12...), I,ve made an script:

#!/bin/sh
echo activating wifi interface
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
echo configuring wifi interface
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid wireless channel 6
echo made

It works fine, but when I try access the internet connection trhough the router, no way.
I can access the configuration page inside the router, but no sites outside.
I know it is a problem of DNS, so i,ve checked /etc/resolv.conf, and nameserver is OK.
The only way to get it working is to execute in the suse machines

ifup wlan0

after the execution of my script (who loads the default configuration stablished in Yast -the same fixed by the script-).
Why I,m not using ifup directly?
Because it don,t fix the essid, I don,t know why.
Some ideas??
Do I have forget somethig related to DNS??
Thanks

depending on yr router, and yr firmware, you can do this on the router.
using a Linksys wrt54g v.6 with dd-wrt micro, we assign ip addrs to our
network machines--to their network interfaces actually--as we wish

Where in your ifconfig script have you set the router IP/default gateway?

After you use your ifconfig script, look at the default route - do you have one?

netstat -nr

If not, you need to add a "route add" command to your script.

Thank you for the answers, but I get it working now.
Just add

ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

in the iwconfig line to fix the MAC of the AP, and VOILA!!
