Only one person can dial into the VPN at a time. If you have two users who need to VPN into the local office, you'll need to use a different method.

Reason: PPTP VPN, when traversing NAT, encrypts the packets that tell it what the internal (nat-ed) addresses are. So you can get the router passing through the VPN packets just fine, but it can't tell the difference between one person's VPN connection and the next person's VPN connection.

This is indeed an important drawback. Even though I would never need more than two (theoretically three, but usually only one) simultaneous users, it's probably better to do it right first time without cutting corners.
I take it this was a limitation of the PPTP protocol, and not Windows 2003's fault?

I think that I was asking for similar help on this BBS during that time. It would have been almost exactly two years ago. Perhaps some of the information in that thread would help. Anyone got a link to it?

Yes, that would probably be very helpful! Cheers!
