I have a client using xp pro and hosting 1 remote computer via pptp. We've
tried to host a second computer but we get a message that the connection is
in use. It appears that XP has a limit of 1 concurrent incoming connection.
Does anybody know if this is so and are there any workarounds that dont
involve vpn at the router?
Thanks fr any help!!

AFAIK that is the (artificial?) limitation in the workstation product, ie.
'Remote Access Server' type functionality for max. 1 incoming connection. If
you want more,, MS wants you to use the server version windows.
