Two Computers to one VPN

Hello,

I cant seem to connect two computers to my work network using only one VPN
connection. The scenario is as follows

Computer a and b: both windows xp
Computer c: windows server 2003 pptp (VPN server)
I can connect to computer c (server) using wither a or b. Not both.

Is there a way i can give both a and b access to the network using the one
VPN connection?

thanks Bill.

i dont know what you mean by giving both pc's a and b access to the VP
connection, if you are using this as a terminal service client you wil
need to pay money to allow both to connect concurrently, in a remot
desktop environment, I think this is what you are talking about

As a general rule, the answer is no. You cannot normally share a VPN
connection.

You need a site-to-site (router-to-router) VPN,...not a Remote Access VPN.

With remote Access VPN, every machine needs to connect with VPN by
establishing it's own connection separately.

Are you trying to use one PC as the primary connection upstream / elsewhere
... internet connection sharing eables one PC to be a proxy for others but
your subjected to whatever policies your corporate IT allow.
