Why do you call mptstart.cmd? This will not work according to me, because the parameters
will not be used by this batch file.

No DHCP for the Wifi NIC? Than you can use something like:
'ifconfig lan1 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500'
'route add default 192.168.0.1 -hopcount 1'

For the (Wired) NIC with DHCP you need:
'dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 10'

I was not able to use Netbios on both NIC's, so I don't know if your setup might work.
