More than one client??

[Guest]

OK... On Windows XP I am able to setup a VPN Host to receice client connections. I noticed that there can only one connection at a time. Is there a way to change the program to accept multiple connections at the same time, instead of just one vpn client there can be 5 or more at the same time. Without buying new software. (Server 2003)????

Is there free software (or shareware) out there that allow multiple VPN clients to connect that I could use or download off the internet?

No, On XP machine for incoming connection we support just once connection
per media type (ie dial-up, VPN and DCC) simultaneously.

Sorry if this isn't kosher to mention in an MS newsgroup, but I have had
good results with a 3rd party application called WinConnect Server XP for
allowing multiple Remote Desktop connections. It's a drain on resources, and
it's not free, but they do have a trial. You can read more here:

Hope that helps - and my apologies if it's sacreligious to bring it up here.

Doesn't solve the VPN problem though...

On the VPN issue, it would probably be cheaper and more effective to
purchase a VPN router (Linksys and Netgear both have one). This is
seperate from Windows.
