Re: Multiple guests with RRAS persistent-connection only allow one to work

I agree with that. I would suspect your router/firewall.

one of the guest machine was disconnected. I think this confirms that
it probably has nothing to do with Virtual Server.

Hi,

I have a Virtual Server 2005 host in which I run 4 different guests
OSes with Windows 2003. Each of these guests have a Routing and
Remote Access configured for a persistent connection to the same
external VPN Server. The problem is that I can only have one
of these connections alive at a time. As soon as I try to connect
in the second guest, the connection in the first goes down.

First I had all the guest using the same Virtual Network, ie the
same physical NIC, but I have also tried to set them to use
different Virtual Networks, even different physical NICs, but it
didn't help.

Is this a problem with RRAS? I have also posted in the Virtual
Server newsgroup but no clues yet.

TIA

1. Are the guest machines unique installations, or did you simply
clone one OS installation? Cloned machines all have the same MAC
address for the NIC and would behave like that.

The guest machines are indeed unique installations, with different
SID and MAC-addresses.

2. How are the virtual machines networked? I would expect them to
be set to use the physical NIC in the host computer. If you put
them in a different virtual network they will not be able to get
out to the Internet.


One of the guests uses the Virtual Network 1 which in turn uses
primary physical NIC,
and the other guest one uses the secondary physical NIC.

3. Are you connecting these machines using router-to-router VPN with
demand-dial interfaces at both ends of the connection?

I'm not sure if I'm answering the question but my guests are VPN
clients that connects
to a VPN server, it is always the clients that initiate the
connection.

4. What exactly happens when you initiate the second connection?
(ie what does "the connection in the first goes down" mean?)

The VPN for the second connection is no longer available for
pinging, and it gets the
status "Unreachable" in RRAS.
