I'm sure this question have been raized but I failed to find the appropriate string of character to search positively on it (English not beeing my mother lanquage).

I cannot make 2 Mac on same router make MS Remote Desktop Connection to a MS server using VPN one after the other. Why is that ?

I can setup mac #1 to log in to the windows server. If Mac#1 log out it can relog in with Mac #1. But if Mac#1 log out and try to log into the same server with the mac #2, I can VPN into the network but not MS RDC into the server as it cannot find the server.

If turn off both mac + the router, I can get the Mac#2 to then connect to the MS server using VPN+MS RDC. If I log out mac# 2, then I cannot connect with mac #1.

:confused::confused::confused:
My conclusion are that both individual mac VPN and MS RDC setup are corrects. All would work but not simultaniously (of course) but neither one after the other which is what I need.
I'm missing something but cannot fin out what it is.

VPN : using Network Cisco IPSec
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection : 2.1.0
Mac#1 MBP: 10.8.2, FW = Yes
Mac#2 MP : 10.6.8, FW = Yes

Any hint ?
