I do this all the time. It's a pain but all you
have to do is go into Network Connections -
Wireless Network Connection - Properties -
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - Properties and select
"Obtain IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS
server address automatically".
You'll then have to change it back after you're
finished.
I suppose you could write a script to do this, but
I'm getting so used to it I can do it in less than
30 seconds now.
