hi,
i just finished installing suse9.0 on my desktop and loaded the drivers of my wireless pci card(rtl8180) via ndiswrapper. i then assigned a static ip address to my card and then added the default gateway to the routing table ( route add default gw 192.168.2.1). now when i open mozilla it refuses to open web sites when i type out their name (eg www.yahoo.com) but when i type out the ip address(http://66.94.230.47) the site opens up. does anyone have a clue what the problem could be?

That means your DNS name servers aren't set up right. Do you have a working windows box on this network? If so you can type

ipconfig /all

on the command prompt and you'll see the IP's of the servers at the bottom. You should be able to ping them from the Suse box. Then add them to your network setting.

As Fishbones said, you need to add your DNS servers. Open up /etc/resolv.conf in your favorite editor and manualy add them.
