Mobility Site - View Single Post - Wi-Fi - is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Just got my X51v a couple weeks ago and have been trying to configure it for wireless. I bought the Wi-Fi Companion software in addition to the PDA, and I'm having trouble getting a consistent connection.

With the Dell WLAN and Odessey Client utilities enabled, when I turn on the PDA I will often receive an error message: "Cannot execute \Program File\Funk Software\Odessey Client\ODClientCE.exe". After clicking OK, Wi-Fi Companion will fail to make a connection, even though the WLAN utility is running (with a normal/strong connection) and the Odessey client appears to be running also (packet activity, etc.) If I do a soft reset, everything then seems to come up fine, including Wi-Fi Companion. It seems all 3 of these utilities must be functioning in order for me to get a wireless connection. Which is fine, but I shouldn't have to do a soft reset in order to consistently connect. Any ideas?
