Re: NAT rules for VPN only allowing one user?

Hey,

This sounds like a problem on the VPN gateway device, you should remove the rule:

"/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1
	-d $LINKSYS_VPN_IP -p tcp --dport 1723
	-j SNAT --to-source $ETH1_IP"

And resolve that issue, what is most likely currently happening. Your VPN router is only setup for or only supports 1 VPN connection per IP address. So a second connection would over write the first one.

Actually, I need the SNAT rule to make my remote
users look like they are coming from the local network.

For some reason, the Linksys does not respond to the
connection unless I have that.

Thanks,

This is redundant.

Either one of my remote users can connect to the VPN using
the Windows XP VPN client.  But, if one of them is connected
and the other tries to connect, the second person gets to
the verifying username and password screen and then
gets an Error 619 that they are not able to connect.

I think somehow the existing connection is mis-routing
the login for the second connection.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Use the holy tcpdump.
