Multiple VPN users

I work in a company (B) that needs to access another company's (A) intranet to enter billing information. Company A set up Cisco VPN, came out to our site B and set up individual user access at each PC. When more than one person tries to access company A's site it stalls/freezes anyone already connected including the new access point. Company A is telling me that it sees the same IP address and tries to use the same tunnel for each new connection.
If I install a VPN router that supports concurrent VPN connections does anyone know if that will fix my problem? Or do I have to obtain additional IP addresses from my ISP? Ideas anyone?? Thanks!
 
If you connect A to B (or B to A) with multiple clients, you will need ONE tunnel setup and all clients to use that tunnel, NOT individual as the request will, as you noticed, cancel the other out.
Set up a VPN between the subnets and use that.
Let's say the WAN IP for A = 1.2.3.4 and B is 5.6.7.8 the you setup a VPN between those 2 from the router or server.
You need a route from one LAN to the other then.
Example A = 192.168.1.1 , B= 192,168.2.1 , route those.
The clients will then just point to that route (the tunnel) to get to the other side.
