same user login to vpn twice

[museudf]

Hi

Very simple question, can anyone think of a valid reason why a user can not vpn in from two differnet machines at the same time using the same username and password. So a user is at home and has a laptop and a desktop and wants to VPN into the office using his same username and password on both machines at the same time. The problem he is having is he is able to vpn into one machine but the other one connects and then hands on verifying username and password and then disconnects with error 721. so untill he disconnects from the original machine he is not able to vpn from the other. there are enough ports for him to connect.

User is using xp on both machine and this is a standard windows vpn server.

Any help would be great.
Thank you

Could be that his firewall / router cannot handle multiple tunnels. Thats why he gets as far as login then hangs.

From the MS KB

721 Remote PPP peer is not responding.

Ask what make and model the user is using on the manufacturers website.

Yes, it is router limitation. This case study may help,
