I am running opensuse 10.3 with ndiswrapper 1.49. My card works fine and it connects to networks without any issues...

My goal is to be able to connect to multiple wireless networks using static ip addresses using the command line. The problem I run into is when I change from one network to another I lose the internet connection. I am sure I am missing a step or two in order to complete the change.

Here is what I run:

1. ifdown wlan0
2. ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.250 netmask 255.255.255.0
3. iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
4. ifup wlan0
5. route add default gw 192.168.1.1

I then can connect to the router via firefox, but I can't access any internet sites nor ping google.com. I am sure it is something stupid that I haven't thought of.

Thanks ahead of time,
Op

OK I am an idiot. I needed to change the dns for the nic. Is the only way to change the dns servers through editing the /etc/resolv.conf file?
