IBM Access Connections v3.71 & DHCP

[Legionnaire]

Hello.

I have to report a simple annoyance when using IBM Access Connections to connect a wireless network using DHCP. Windows indeed leases an IP and everything works fine (network access, etc.) but the windows icon (a little monitor with some signals coming out of it) in the tray keeps animating like it's still trying to acquire an IP address (you know, a little red dot going back and forth).

If I log off and log back on, it connets and the tray icon is normal.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I clearly is not a functionality problem, just an esthetic one.

Update: If I remove the icon from the tray (disable "show icon on tray when connected") and then put it back there, the new icon is fine

I've seen some flakiness like that ... even worse, the "progress window" will show a failure to connect, then the sound effect for successful connection plays, and the system tray icon shows a tooltip, "Connected, SSID blahblahblah, 54 Mbps...." I turn off the progress window, and as often as not, the tray icons as well. The wireless icon is handy to show signal strength, but the AC "computer over Cylon eye" icon is usually unnecessary. (What it's useful for: switching profiles, or disconnecting.)

FWIW I'm using 3.82 on my T41 laptop, and I recommend it. Better than 4.x, and some fixes and improvements over 3.7x I believe.
