Interesting solution! Haven't thought about this myself. So I tried it
out (loop back interface as lan2, other subnet, TCPBEUI only bound to
this interface, ipgate on) with the following result:
Using lan0 (wired) it does work (domain logon, TCPBEUI access to
shares). Using lan1 (WLAN) it does not work completely (NO domain logon,
but TCBEUI access to shares).
(Have I told you already, that I still cannot figure out how this
TCPBEUI implementation works?)
So I switched back to the "two interfaces configured in the same subnet
configuration".

Yes this check box is set. But I really think that this is the correct
sequence: Because it is possible to start a process then which strikes
when the interface is fully configured by XWLAN. But it's a bit hard to
code to step back in time when xwlan.cmd is started after configuring
the interface. ;-)
Thanx for your support and patience
