for the moment yes. If you want to use a different wireless network, you have three options:
1. Setup the wireless again for the new network, and set it up everytime you have to change networks.
2. Use a program such as KWifiManager to manage the different wireless networks you connect to.
3. Use Yast's profile manager. Allows for seamless switching between differnet networks e.g. home and school. Also can configure more stuff e.g. which printers and things to use (something which KWifimanager can't do). Profile manager can be found in Yast -> System -> Profile Manager.Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.

Basically i connect with many networks so it is inefficient for me to configure it for all of them. Will kwifimanager just allow me to connect in a more simply way when i move location?

Kwifimanager will do that but have you loaded the drivers for your wireless card with NDISWRAPPER, it said mine was working but it did the same thing as yours.

I didn't load any special drivers for my wifi card, so it must have automatically done it.

Kwifimanager will do this for you, as will SuSE's profile manager. With profile manager, you have to set up the correct ip and dns address for each network only once. Then when you want to switch networks, simply switch profiles.

I did what you said to do, but nothing changed. Pinging still does not work. If i do a reinstall but input those numbers in, will it work?

Don't reinstall over something as trivial as this. So what are you saying, now the ping just returns "Unknown host"? Try this, enter the ip address of the AP in yast's entry for dns server (I don't know why yast should overwrite this for you).

all the information i am getting is from a windows pc which is on the same network. So should i try pinging the dns network. I'm at work at the moment, so i'll do it when i get home.
