1. A wireless LAN system comprising:
- a plurality of communications networks connected to each other;
wireless base stations for periodically transmitting a signal within a wireless cell, at least one of said wireless base stations being disposed in each of said networks;
a mobile terminal for transmitting, when newly receiving said signal, a belonging request to a wireless base station which has transmitted said signal and connecting, when receiving permission for belonging from said wireless base station, said mobile terminal to said wireless base station, thus conducing communications; and
agents each for distributing an agent advertisement onto said communications networks and managing, after said mobile terminal receives said agent information, the location of said mobile terminal based on movement information transmitted from said mobile terminal, each of agents being disposed in each of said communications networks;
each of said base stations storing said agent information based on said agent advertisement distributed onto said communications network, receiving a belonging request from said mobile terminal, and transmitting, when belonging of said mobile terminal is permitted, said agent information to said mobile terminal to be stored, together with said permission for belonging.

8. A method of controlling a wireless LAN system, said wireless LAN system including a plurality of communications networks connected to each other;
- base stations communications for periodically sending signals within a wireless cell, at least one of said base stations being disposed in each of networks;
a mobile terminal for transmitting, when newly receiving said signals, a belonging request to a base station which has sent said signals, and connecting, when receiving permission for belonging from said wireless base station, said mobile terminal to said wireless base station, thus conducing communications; and
agents each for distributing an agent advertisement onto said communications networks and managing, the location of said mobile terminal based on a movement notice transmitted from said mobile terminal after said mobile terminal receives said agent information, each of agents being disposed in each of said communications networks;
said method comprising the steps of;
storing said agent information into each of said base stations, based on said agent advertisement distributed on said communications network; and
when each of said wireless base stations receives a belonging request from said mobile terminal and permits belonging of said mobile terminal, transmitting said agent information to be stored to said mobile terminal from each of said wireless base stations, together with said permission for belonging.
