My understanding, from what I was told by IBM tech support, is that you must manually switch between wired and WiFI when using IBM Access Connections. In any case, IBM Access Connections is fiendishly difficult to configure properly, and the Indian or whatever he was wasn't any help. IBM Access Connections is the latest release, 3.71. Although the only way I can figure to get into the thing is to use the "Access IBM" button, do a keyword search, and open it from the Help Page. So it's not what you'd call user-friendly at all.
