Hiya

Just to clarify things, we have 1 windows 2003 server in 1 office and
then a win xp workstation and a vista laptop in another office up the
road, who need the vpn access to their files on the main server.

the win xp workstation and the laptop are using a different private IP
address range to the main server.

we have discovered an error in the setup of the vpn on the
workstation which is why this wasn't connecting however we are still
unable to connect both at the same time.

i will check the ipconfig /all as requested and see what this says

with regards to the avg this is running on both machines trying to
connect to the vpn so can't see this being an issue..

thanks

Also, enable RRAS logging to get some more insight on what the server is
doing and why.

Also, plese read this on how to setup a Windows 2003 VPN server.

More specifically, make sure you are allowing simultaneous connections.
Also make sure more than one IP is being provided in RRAS properties (as I
mentioned before). This info is also in the following Microsoft article.
