I can't understand how tweaking GPRS setting would help connecting to wifi.

It is not. All you are doing is adding gprs setups to my isp. Once you have this setup your system will use wifi network if available else it will initiate gprs connection. I am using this setup for long time. Don't do this if you don't have good data plan.

I do have a data plan from ATT (Cingular). When I turn on wifi it does not go to the the MEdia Net.

This has 0% to do with wi-fi and 100% to do with GPRS. One (wi-fi) uses the internal wireless card, and the other (GPRS) uses the cellular connection , which is much slower and generally costlier and can also use more battery if not careful than wi-fi. I only hope nobody uses this thinking it will solve a wi-fi connection issue because they are going to be hurt in the wallet when they get their next cell phone bill. GPRS is generally extremely expensive and adds up very fast. Most companies charge per kilobit it takes many kilbits to load just one webpage. Be warned if you attempt to use this "solution".
