Oubound VPN connection limit?

I work on an XP Prof machine, where I often need to use three VPN
connections to three different destination servers. Seems that I can
only access two of them at any given time. To open the third, I have
to disconnect one of the others. I can do them in any order, but can
only ever get two of them connected at once.

It seems therefore that there is a limit on the number of outbound VPN
connections. Is there any way to work around this limitation?

I have read about the "ReservedPorts" registry key, which sounded like
it might be relevant, but I have no such key on my machine, nor on the
Win2K Server that serves as my gateway.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

....Mike
 
There isn't any type of known limitation for VPN's that I have heard
of, but there is a problem if the different VPN's use the same IP
address subnet...

What IP address spaces are being used for the different VPN's?

They are in completely different address spaces - the first octets are
4, 10, and 206.

Is there any way to debug this? The error I get is Error 800, unable
to establish the VPN connection. There is nothing in the event log.
