Re: Maximum multiple simultaneous vpn connection?

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

As Robert noted XP only supports one incoming VPN connection.

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...
