vpn error 800 when accessing sbs 2011

I have a remote office with 10 users that are VPNing to our main office sbs2011 server. the first 5 users have connected fine. When I attempt to connect the 6th remote client they get an error 800. this laptop connected successfully yesterday, when I was setting the office up. I haven't made any changes to it.
Is there some setting on the sbs2011 server that has maxed out? some setting I need to bump up to allow additional vpn tunnels?

Did you set up the VPN service on SBS 2011 or are you using one provided by your router? Are you doing PPTP, L2TP, or SSTP? What kind of equipment is at your network's edge?

Yes, I set up the VPN on SBS2011. I brought the laptop home that was failing to connect Now that 3-4 off the other users have disconnected for the night. I can successfully vpn into the server. got to be a limit setting on the server

You did not answer any of my other questions...

Sorry. PPTP and Comcast Business Class Routers at both ends running 27 down and 7 up (Not at office, so I can't tell you the brand)

I was hoping to keep this simple, but some of the post on the subject seem to indicate that Multiple VPNs can put a major drain on the network and dedicated VPN routers at both ends creating the tunnel might be the way to go.

I have 2 Cisco rvs4000s gigabit routers with VPN ready to roll if i need them.

After chasing my tail a bit, I learned that the 5 user ceiling I was hitting on my VPN clients was indeed a setting on my SBS 2011 server. By default the VPN wizard on sbs2011 limits you to 5 ports.
