Can two contivity VPN instances be installed on one computer?

My wife and I work for the same company and both have vpn using separate machines at home. Our company uses Nortel's Contivity VPN setup. We would like to consolidate down to only having one computer. We have been told that we must have separate VPN setups. Is there a way to have two separate VPN setups on the same computer? Would using two separate user accounts on the computer help make this possible?|||Go to the network setup wizard in the network connection (control panel) %26amp; set up the VPN connections individually. During the setup process you will have to enter what I presume would be 2 different domain names or IP addresses. Then simply create a shortcut for each, you should also be able to connect to both of these simultaneously. If that fails, then yes, separate user accounts will eliminate the issue as long as the destination IP/DNS is different, if not then you should still be able to do so without simultaneous connection to VNC. Also once completed make sure that the firewall is configured to allow these connections through, in the event that you shall decide to configure these VPN's from scratch.





Hope that this was of some help.
