I found out how to solve it:

in vancouver.bst
(which is in my case in home/wolfgang/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/)

change
nameptr #6
to
nameptr #2

and 
numname #6
to
numname #2

I saved this changed vancouver.bst to vancouver2etal.bst
in order not to interfere with the original file 
and added this to document>settings  bibliography style>default style
WHICH DID NOT WORK
however, if I changed vancouver2etal.bst to vancouver.bst
(by saving the original vancouver.bst preliminary as vancouverOrig.bst)
IT WORKED
namely, only maximally 2 authors in the bibliography, if more: et al after 
the second one

My question:
why was vancouver2etal in bibliography style>default style not recognized? 
I did a reconfigure before.

Wolfgang
