RE: 2 different VPNs on different PCs going thru same router allowed? (was RE: DSL reliability)

That sounds just like what I'm looking for.

But, you *have* been able to 2 VPN sessions running at the same time on the
same PC?  How?  When I tried to start a second VPN session after the first
one was running, I got an error about "already using dial-up" or somesuch.
Note: I set up the VPN sessions via dial-up networking, even though I access
internet via cable.  Is this the problem?

FWIW, this is Win95.

I have a simple little Linksys cable/dsl router here at home with multiple
PCs attached. I have been able to run multiple VPN sessions thru it via
different PCs. Now getting 2 or more VPN clients to coexist on the same PC
sometimes is fun let alone having 2 of them "RUNNING" at the same time.

Just to make it clear... the router is only passing thru these sessions and
not doing any part of the VPN

This thread got me thinking.  I'm close to putting a broadband router on the
"front" of my cable connection and hooking up two (or more) PCs to it so my
kids and I can surf at the same time.  I use a VPN connection to connect to
our AS/400 (actually network) at work.  Sometimes I'd like to VPN to one of
our clients at the same time, but I'm not able to get two VPN sessions
running concurrently.  If everything goes through the router to get to the
internet, can I use the other PC to VPN to the client while my PC VPN's to
my company's network?
