Paul - I didn't think the Shrew client supported pure PPTP connections (vs IPSec); perhaps someone else can verify, as I don't know.

What are you trying to accomplish by using the Shrew client, versus using the "built in" client of Windows?  I don't believe Shrew would add any magic.

I've never tried to use XP as a PPTP server, so don't know if it would be different than Server 2003 RRAS in terms of multiple simultaneous connections.

Hi,

I am running a test. I have 2 computers both running XP, I have set the
router to forward port 1723 to address 192.168.1.103 and set up a Microsft
VPN server with a couple of users. I am running a DynDNS called
'moneyexpress.homeip.net'. (This all works with a single vpn connection).

I have installed the Shrew VPN client software onto the other computer. My
problem is how to configure the setup.

Will I beable to connect more than one client user to the server or will I
need to install a dedicated Microsoft 2003 server software.

Regards,

Paul Harvey
