If so, your ThinkPad seems to have big configuration problems.  Normally, Access 
Connections loads on startup.  Edit your registry (or use msconfig) to add
C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities\QCTRAY.EXE
and
C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities\QCWLICON.EXE
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(assuming, that your programs are in default locations)

Or - better - use the IBM software installer to reinstall/update all your IBM 
utilities and drivers.

I used to manage 1000 + of very mobile ThinkPad users and Access Connections worked 
fine for us to manage a multitude wired and wireless connections without any problems 
you've described.
