Boundary nonlinear problems can be solved by combination of FindRoot
and NDSolve commands. NDSolve must have exact numerical initial
conditions, but these conditions can be parameters substituted by
FindRoot iteration. Condition of FindRoot command is another boundary
condition evaluated from the result of NDSolve function. Actually,
syntax in mathematica is not easy and is different in version 4.x and
5.0. See:
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/652/

In Mathematica 5.0 replace

y[n_][m_][IBguess_] := First[(y[n][r] /. Evaluate[sol[IBguess]]) /. 
 r->m]

 FindRoot[ (bign/2*y[1][1][IBguess] + y[2][1][IBguess] - bign/2 == 0),

 {IBguess, {1.5,1.3}}]

 with

 y[n_][m_][IBguess_?NumericQ] := First[(y[n][r] /. 
 Evaluate[sol[IBguess]])
/. r->m]

 FindRoot[ (bign/2*y[1][1][IBguess] + y[2][1][IBguess] - bign/2 == 0),
                  {IBguess, 1.5,1.3}]
