RE: RAS login limits solution...

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Mark,

We are having an issue where we have set the number of ports to be 128 for
both PPTP and L2TP but no more than 16 simultaneous connection are allowed.

I am at my wits end trying to figure this one out. Any ideas?

Licenses have an affect on your connections but ALSO WAN Miniports do too.

In your RAS look at the item titled "Ports". It will be on the left under the RAS Server you selected.

"Right Mouse click" on Ports and select "Properties".

You will probably see two items:

WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)

On the FAR RIGHT COLUMN look at the "Number of Ports"

Double click on the line item and increase the number until you see your users connecting.

This works for demand dial and remote access as router.

(Note: I have noticed that even though the "Ports" listing will show some "inactive", this is not a clear representation of how many are available based upon the protocol you are using.)
