well i would like to set up a VPN for my own reasons that dont really matter, and i was able to get it working just fine. my windows XP is the vpn host/server computer and i had a win xp connect to it. i called a friend and she was able to connect, and her boyfriend in another part of town was as well.

the problem i am having is when one is connected, and the other tries to connect (multiple connections) he/she connecting second gets a "error 937" which after looking up means i can only support 1 user at a time because i have windows XP.

now without installing server 2k3 on my other computer, is there a file i can alter or a setting i can change somewhere on this XP machine in order to allow multiple users? possibly a piece of software i can install. i would like to make it so clients connecting dont have to install anything else.

ive looked for a while and all the forums ive looked have the same questions with no responses... ill try to work this out tomorrow when i get home. hopefully ill have an idea here.


thx alot guys, YOMAMA

screw it, *backs up files and unplugs 2 hard drives*

FORMAT!

installing windows server 2003.

supposedly this version is able to host as many as needed (hoping my router does to at this point) so i should be set....

thx for the feedback :attention:
