Sorry. XP VPN is peer to peer VPN.

SOHO with file server running Windows XP Professional. If this machine is
configure to accept incoming connections from two external Windows XP Professional VPN clients, will it support the connection of these two VPN clients connecting simultaneously? Within a workgroup environment, I believe that if supports a maximum of 10 concurrent connections to a folder share. Would this extend to Windows XP Professional VPN's and imply that the maximum simultaneous VPN connections to this machine is limited to 10. "Robert L [MS-MVP]" wrote: > Sorry.

As Robert noted XP only supports one incoming VPN connection.
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...g_cnd_dbem.asp If you need more then you need to upgrade to a server class OS like Windows 2003 Server or Small Business Server (SBS)... If you only need secure access to files from a small number of multiple remote users then Secure Shell (SSH) and WinSCP would work well for that. Otherwise look at the true server solution... -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

I forgot to add these links. If your users need to access their individual
XP Pro desktops using Remote Desktop then a SSH tunnel works well for that also. If the PCs are running XP Home then look at running UltraVNC through the SSH tunnel... http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.or...esktopSSH.html http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.or...publicKey.html http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/11544 http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php...position=22:22 http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php...view&FAQ_id=62 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/index.php http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/ssh-faq.html -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
