As I said in my first post: They are never connected at the same time -
they are just configured (until XWLAN is running). First the LAN
interface - it get's is configuration using DHCP (and if it does not get
a lease it is configured statically). Then the WLAN interface
(statically): as the LAN interface has set the hostid and the route to
the subnet everything works - even starting the requester.
When I later switch from LAN to WLAN interface I pull out the LAN cable,
and turn on WLAN using XWLAN. Then the requester still works - even a
domain logon. (TCPBEUI is configured for both interfaces)
All other solutions I tried do not work or not fully work (e.g. I can
connect to a specific server, even the domain controller, but I cannot
log on to the domain).
And no the requester does not start when both interfaces are bound to
TCPBEUI and one is not configured.

I use XWLAN 2.14 and when I turn on the WLAN it does:
1) Turns on the card
2) Searchs for a WLAN
3) Connects to the WLAN
4) Does run xwlan.cmd
5) Configures the IP interface
Greetings
