Hi all,
I've noticed that typical "Residential" class Linksys routers (and I presume other manufactures as well) seem to have difficulty supporting more than one simultaneous VPN connection. I'm referring to the scenario where two machines sit behind a linksys router and try to run software based VPN clients to a remote VPN concentrator. The linksys appears to be able to support only one at a time and if host A tries to establish a VPN connection it kicks off host B's VPN connection if it's already in progress.
My question is... Do the Cisco Aironet Wireless access point have this limitation?
I am aware that you can configure PPTP tunneling from the client linksys to the site VPN concentrator and run traffic through it and I suppose in theory this could support multiple connections from client to site but we would prefer to just use the VPN client software on the host without having to keep a tunnel open.
Appreciate any advice in this regard.
Cheers - Peter

It's not the problem of the router but the nature of VPN - you can't have two IP based VPN connections behind the same IP (with NAT)

PIX or VPN concentrator needs NAT Traversal enabled on it.
