Connecting multiple masqueraded clients to Linux VPN server

[Oommen Thomas <oommen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The VPN/PPTP docs say that in 2.2.X, if the kernel patch is applied,
multiple clients can connect and the CONFIG_MASQUERADE_PPTP_MULTICLIENT
options is obselete, and only CONFIG_IP_. But when I tried, even after
rebuilding the kernel with this option on, only one client can connect at
a time. 

I have the Win95/98 clients within a Linux firewall (using DHCP) and a
remote Linux VPN server. Connection from one client works fine and I can
share the remote machines' resources etc. But If I try with another client
(even after disconnecting the 1st one), it just doesnt work. Is the
IP-addr registered somewhere on the local firewall, thus preventing the
masquerading of IP protocol 47? The error I get is as follows.

IP_MASQ:Already used connection: IP_47, FIREWALL_IP:0 => VPN_IP:0, called
from CLIENT_ID

Qn: Is it possible to have multiple VPN clients for Linux PPTP and if so
how?
