x50v WM5 A02 - How do I tell the axim or PIE what dns servers to use!?

I am having a problem after my recent WM5 upgrade where when I browse the web, every time I go to a new site, PIE says 'Locating' for 10 or more seconds, then once that is over it loads very quickly.

I figured this might be a DNS issue, so I used the search function here and found out that some DSL users had the same problem as me. They were able to fix it by somehow setting the dns servers that the axim uses to their ISP's dns servers. So I go into my routers admin and get my the dns servers my PC is using ...

Good enough, but how do I input this into the axim? You would think it would be somewhere in Settings -> Connections -> Connections, but all I see there is 'My Work Network' with 3 options: Add Modem, Add VPN and Set up Proxy. I can go to the advanced tab -> Select Networks and 'Edit' 'My Work Network', but there is NOTHING that allows me to change dns servers!

I can also not change dns servers in the Dell WLAN utility. If there is a way to change the dns servers in WM5, it is VERY well hidden.

Thanks you for any help.

Click the WiFi wireless icon on today screen, then Click Setting button, switch to Network Adapters, tap Dell Axim X50 WLAN wireless adapter, switch to Name Servers, DNS is there.

Ahh. Thanks for the quick reply, I added those DNS servers everything now loads up real fast in PIE.
