I don't know if the Netgear serves a DNS server in the DHCP lease, but this is generally what your problem is from
I'm not to sure what you mean by this, can you explain a little bit more?
Somewhere, somehow, you have to pick up an address for a DNS server and get it into /etc/resolv.conf. I've always manually put in such an address but a dial-up connection should also pick one up. Question is: where does that happen in a wireless connect and that should be a function of your wireless connection box I would think. But /etc/resolv.conf is the place to look to see what's happening with DNS on your machine and if there's no ip address for a DNS server in there, then you have no DNS server working for you.
Also, make sure your DNS servers actually show up in /etc/resolv.conf.
I looked in this file and the only thing what's there is:
search local
I'm banging my head against the wall , it is probably just a little thing what I forget but I just cannot get it to work again because it all worked until last Tuesday when it gave up on me.
