Internet connection using wireless and wired lan on th esame notebook

I normally access the internet using my home LAN which is
wired to my ADSL router. Recently my company installed
wireless network which required me to install a wireless
PC card (NetGear MA402). This is where my problem starts.

My wireless card requires me to disable the DNS in the
TCP/IP properties whereas my network interface card
(wired) requires me to enable DNS in the TCP/IP
properties. When I disable DNS for my wireless pc card,
the DNS for my NIC is also gets disabled and vice versa.
How can I make both of them to work independently of each
other?

Although it looks like you can make a different DNS setting for each
network card, you can't. There's only one DNS setting, and it applies
to all of them.

Why do you need to enable DNS for your NIC? If your ADSL router has a
built-in DHCP server, it should be able to automatically configure the
computer's DNS server address.

If you really need different network settings for home and work, you
can install one of these programs. They let you store multiple
network configurations and switch between them easily:
