Hi,

Im having a strange problem again whereby my network is only allowing 1
outgoing pptp connection at a time. Im setup like this:

net
|
netgear router
|
firewall________dmz
|
firewall
|__________
| |
DNS lan clients

The lan clients are a mixture of 2000 and XP pro. When have about 50
external pptp services that we need to connect to now and again. When one
internal clinet connects to a remote pptp service the connection is fine
until another internal client connects to another remote pptp service - at
this stage the first clients connection drops.

Can anyone suggest where the problem may lie or suggest any troubleshooting
tips ?

(NOTE: i also host a pptp service but incoming connections are rare. I dont
think the incoming traffic is effected but im not 100% sure).

Thanks for your time.
Scott
 
Hmm...weird. RRAS is capable of 256 simultaneous connections. Maybe you need
to manually create more remote connections in RRAS?
 
its a strange one certiainly. i got in touch with netgear support but not
had a response to date. thought it was maybe a router restriction or
somthing. dont think its an ms problem.

thanks for reply
