After seeing numerous responses to this issue I think it is time to
step and look at what is key to having NETBIOS over TCP/IP operational.

1)  NetBIOS over TCP/IP must be properly installed.  Unfortunately this
is best done using a fresh install oe migration, as 'Selective Install
for Networking' sometimes leaves out key files.  Though I believe eCS
1.2 is better at this than eCS 1.1 and earlier.

2)  The MPTD MPTS setup should look like:

a) simplified view for TCP/IP and NetBIOS over TCP/IP or NetBIOS only:

      Adapter0
       - 0 - TCP/IP
       - 0 - NetBIOS over TCP/IP
     Adapter1
      - 1 - TCP/IP                                              <===
the numbering is key, it must be consistent!
      - 1 - NetBIOS over TCP/IP
    Adapter2
      - 2 - TCP/IP
      - 2 - NetBIOS over TCP/IP

b) It is more complicated when someone (unnecessarily) chooses to use
both NetBIOS and NetBIOS over TCP/IP:

      Adapter0
       - 0 - TCP/IP
       - 0 - NetBIOS over TCP/IP
        -1 - NetBIOS
     Adapter1
      - 1 - TCP/IP
      - 2 - NetBIOS over TCP/IP
      - 3 - NetBIOS
In fact, I would not recommend anyone trying to use both NetBIOS and
NetBIOS over TCP/IP with more that one adapter.

3)  After exiting MPTS, ibmcom\protocol.ini needs to contain the
following (for 3 adapters using NetBIOS over TCP/IP);

[NETBIOS]

   DriverName = netbios$
   ADAPTER0 = tcpbeui$,0
   ADAPTER1 = tcpbeui$,1
   ADAPTER1 = tcpbeui$,2

[tcpbeui_nif]

   DriverName = tcpbeui$
   Bindings = adapter0,adapter1,adpater2
   ...

4)  MPTS, does not automatically configure ibmlan\ibmlan.ini, but in
eCS "System Setup | Network | Select Interfaces for Sharing' should.
The resulting ibmlan.ini should look like (again for NetBIOS over
TCP/IP with 3 adapters):

[networks]

  net1 = TCPBEUI$,0,LM10,34,100,14
  net2 = TCPBEUI$,1,LM10,34,100,14
  net3 = TCPBEUI$,2,LM10,34,100,14

[requester]
  ...
  wrkservices = peer[,messenger]     (messenger is really not needed in
a soho use)
  wrknets = NET1,NET2,NET3
  COMPUTERNAME = name
  DOMAIN = domain

[peer]
  ....
  srvnets = NET1,NET2,NET3

5)  mptn\bin\setup should look something like this for fixed ip
addresses:

route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 192.168.2.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
ifconfig lan1 192.168.1.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
ifconfig lan2 192.168.0.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan3
REM ifconfig lan4
REM ifconfig lan5
REM ifconfig lan6
REM ifconfig lan7
REM ifconfig sl0
route add default 192.168.2.1 -hopcount 1
ipgate on

for dhcp on lan 0 the setup should look like:

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 0
ifconfig lan1 192.168.1.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
ifconfig lan2 192.168.0.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan3
REM ifconfig lan4
REM ifconfig lan5
REM ifconfig lan6
REM ifconfig lan7
REM ifconfig sl0
ipgate on

The subnet IP address range for lan1 & lan2 could be real (i.e. the
subnet actually exists) or 'dummy'.  So. once the network is up and
running, one should be able shutdown and reconfigure the various lans
to appropriate IPs.  However, as versatile eCS is when it comes to
networking, it is still a client operating system and not meant to be
used as a network server or a complex router.  However, if one is
careful, it will function quite well routing between a DSL connection
and a SOHO network using two nic adapters.  Three or more adapters???
One really has to take a close look at why this configuration is really
needed!

Cheers,

Chris Clayton
