Limitation on number of Incoming VPN Connections in Windows Vista
Seems like a simple question that should be answered in the documentation. Is
Windows Vista 32 Ultimate limited to a single incoming VPN connection? If not, how to I increase the number on simultaneous VPN Connections?

Vista limits one VPN connection.

To add to Bob's comments, AFAIK you can *NOT* increase that beyond one
incoming connection. That is hard coded into the OS. You either need to upgrade to a server class OS like Windows 2003 Server or use a third-party server package like Secure Shell (SSH) or OpenVPN for example. Another alternative would be a VPN end-point type router. For general home use remote access I run a SSH server package on my Vista Ultimate desktop PC. That works very well for me. In my case I use the copSSH server package and the Tunnelier client. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
