Thanks for the replies so far but I think some of you are a bit confused as to
what I am trying to achieve. I am *not* trying to get both NICs to work at once
but boot and use either a cable connection to my LAN if I am in my office or a
WIFI connection if I am elsewhere such as the garden. So lets restate the
problem:
I can use my T21 either on cable or on wireless, or both at once provided they
are on two different subnets. However I cannot get the requester to start when
the box is booted and wifi activated.
In this scenario after boot neither NIC has an IP - both use DHCP. WIFI is not
active and there is no cable plugged in so the cable side is never going to do
anything. I start WIFI and it gets an IP. I can ping/telnet/ftp/whatever. I
then try a network login to get some mounted drives. The requester starts but
times out after several minutes with no helpful errors or log messages that I
can find.
The LAN NIC is bound to TCP/IP, NETBIOS and NETBIOS over TCP, the WIFI
initially was only bound to TCP/IP. I think I have both NETBIOS as I needed to
talk to old and new versions of winbloze without messing too much with the win
boxes.
In IBMLAN.INI there are NET1 & NET2, the first to TCPBEUI$,0 and the second to
NETBEUI$,1 - which I believe refer to adaptors 0 & 1 - which ties up with
protocol.ini
- Note that 0 & 1 are both the LAN NIC - because of the two NETBIOS protocols.
I tried adding the two NETBIOS settings to the WIFI adapter and guessed that
that might create NET3 & 4 - So I added them to IBMLAN.INI and to the
wkservices & srvnets. Then it would not start the requester even when on cable.
If I start on cable, start the requester and get my drives mounted then
shutdown the cable and start wifi the mounted drives still work.
Another question - If the mounted drives only appear when I log into the LAN
why don't they disappear when I logout?
