[power159]

Hello ,

i was just trying to enable VPN service for private usage on my Dedicated Server (Windows 2003 Web edition) but i see the limit is 1 ! but i need atleast 3 ports ,

i want to know how can i increase this limit to 3 ?

Thanks

you can't in the the web addition, 1 is allowed so that you can connect to the server to manage it. nothing more. you will need to move to standard edition if you wnat more ports

I'm actually uncertain about the number of connections on Web edition SP1, because it's listed as having full RRAS support as of SP1. I'll have to verify this (seems like a loophole for cheap VPN servers, but it may indeed be true).
