We have just taken delivery of our first imate SP5. We are having a niggly
issue with wireless LAN in that we don't seem able to get DNS working, and so
connecting to our corporate LAN is not good - can anyone help?

I had expected to put in the address of the DNS server on the phone - you do
that on Pocket PCs. But it doesn't seem to have a space for it on the
Smartphone. Of course on a Smartphone, dial-up or VPN connections rely on the
device you connect to to provide the DNS address. I guess it is doing that
with 802.11b too - but I can't find a way to do that on our Cisco Aironet
350s.

Am I missing something obvious?
