I took a quick look at the user guide but didn't see a lot of information on the VPN. Does Linksys have a forum or mailing list that addresses this? Maybe someone there's run into a similar problem.

So this is a limitation of the Linksys router, correct? What are the real requirements for user connections? Linksys has the BEFVP41, that supports up to 50 VPN connections. Maybe an upgrade to this box is in order. It's on Amazon for $99. What router are you using right now? If it's a WRT54 series wireless router, there might even be an image you can flash it with to do what you want right now.

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. Michael
