[pptp-server] Multiple masqueraded clients

[Tom Owen]

Can poptop support multiple connections from a single IP? I 
know it's OK most of the timew but I have a problem when 
connections close.

I have a known good poptop server that has supported up to 
three simultaneous remote users from different sites.

One of my sites dial up through a masquerading router 
(Eicon 1830) and a single user UUNET account. There are 
several W98 PCs on the LAN behind that router.

All is well when a single PC uses its VPN connection. It is 
also fine for a second user. But when either user closes 
the connection, both connections drop.

I haven't tried connecting to any alternative PPTP 
implementation. It's possible that theres a problem with 
the router re-writing addresses on GRE frames. But it seems 
to me that the likely explanation is that poptop 1.1.2 
can't support multiple connections from one IP address. Is 
this true, and can anything be done about it?
