    hello everyone,

    I am trying to setup a windows xp machine as a vpn server that accepts
    multiple ipsec tunnels from other windows xp machines.

    My restrictions are the following:

    1- I need to set the vpn server on windows XP (not windows 2000 server, nor
    2003, nor ISA server, etc.)

    2- I need to use tunnel mode ipsec

    3- The vpn server should accept MULTIPLE vpn tunnels.

    The first problem I faced is that windows xp does not support ipsec tunnel
    mode between 2 xp machines. It only supports transport mode which is not
    what I want.
    To overcome this lack of IP tunneling I tried to use the built-in tunneling
    capabilities such as PPTP and L2TP/ipsec, and it worked. But the problem
    here is that a windows xp can not accept more than ONE SINGLE incoming
    connection at a time, and I need multiple connections.

    I think the solution could be one of the following:

    1-Installing a third party FREE vpn server (or L2TP server) on windows XP.
    If you know one please tell me.

    2-Importing some features from windows 2000 server or 2003 server (some
    executables or services or plugins that enable xp to run as a vpn server and
    accept multiple connections). If you know what to import please tell me.

    3- Installing a pure IP tunneling solution on windows xp so that it can be
    combined with ipsec encryption to yield tunnel mode encryption.

    I appreciate any help,

    Alaadin
