How to make client machine supporting 3 PPTP connections
I want client machine to support 3 PPTP connections.There is the command for this in Windows 7:netsh ras set wanports "WAN Miniport (PPTP)" maxports=3But WindowsVista OS doesn't has this command.Can I increase the amount of PPTP port by using regedit? How I do this?

Hi, Thank you for posting. After researching, I would like to share the following with you: Add PPTP or L2TP ports For the command netsh ras set wanports "WAN Miniport (PPTP)" maxports=3, I also checked this document and I think this should work in Windows Server OS: Netsh RAS Commands Please note Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 under the title. Hope this helps. Thanks. Nicholas Li TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com.Nicholas Li - MSFT

Thank you for answers.Add PPTP or L2TP portsapplies only for server OS but I need configure amount of ports for client OS.The command set wanports describedunder the "Netsh commands for RAS in Windows Server 2008 R2" sectionin Netsh RAS Commands. There is a note "The commands in this section are new to RRAS in Windows Server2008R2, and are not available in previous versions of Windows". My question for Vista was caused exactly because this command does not exist for this OS.

Hi, Thank you for your update. Based on my knowledge, Windows Vista should only support 2 concurrent PPTP connections and I have not found the related method for modifying the number. Thanks.
