You can only have 1 connection using Windows XP as a VPN server and the same for remote desktop. Even if you use XP as a web server the maximum connections you could have to it would be 10 concurrent connections. That's the limlt set by Microsoft.

I'd suggest you'd look at get a copy of Windows 2000 or 2003 server standard. Bothe have a built in VPN server which will take up to 256 concurrent connections. This is a much better solution for what you are suggesting.
