I hope you have it working now (in this case no errors when starting up) with the
help of the program or manual changing IBMLAN.INI. 

To get TCPBEUI working with more than one adapter there is another problem.
The problem with TCPBEUI is that the system binds this protocol to the adapter at
system startup, so if your WIFI-adapter has no IP address at this moment than it will
not have the TCPBEUI protocol.

To have this I changed my setup.cmd in the MPTN\BIN directory:
route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 192.168.0.205 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500

rem dummy IP-number for WIFI (lan1) tcpbeui
ifconfig lan1 10.0.0.138 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500

route add default 192.168.0.1 -hopcount 
ipgate off

Lan1 is my WIFI-card, so during startup it gets a dummy address and the TCPBEUI
protocol wil be added to it. Lan0 is my cable NIC and has a fixed IP address of
192.168.0.205. The IP-adress on your lan maybe different, so you need to change 
the address of lan0 to reflect your situation. Don't change the lan1 line, unless
your network is in the 10.x.x.x range.

You can choose a dummy adress from one of these following private adress ranges:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 
169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
 
If I want to start using networking through my WIFI (lan1) I run the following batchfile:

ifconfig lan0 down
ifconfig lan0 delete
ifconfig lan1 down
ifconfig lan1 delete
dhcpmon -t
route -fh
arp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 20

In this case I use DHCP.

Good luck,
Frank
