I have two users in the same hotel.
When one is VPNed in, the other cannot get in. If the user that is in, logs off, the other person can then get in...
This hasn't ever happened before. I can't imagine that some issue like this is just presenting itself after two years.
Before I told them it was something on the hotel's end, I thought I'd double check with the braintrust.
I'm just not sure what at the hotel would cause that...

Yeah, that was my guess too.
However, right now I've got a desktop and laptop both going through the same router and both are connected to my VPN at work without a problem (I'm working from home today).
Shouldn't that be impossible for me if the issue was multiple connections from the same IP? Unless the setting is local and not at my servers...
Plus, this would've happened by now if that was the issue as we've had multiple peeps connecting in similar situations before.
I'm sure they were both trying to use wireless, so I told them to try one wireless and one wired and see what happens. No response back yet.

That was my first too. Second would be their firewall is blocking something you/the user needs. But then, one can connect. . .
So that takes me to issues with microsofts direct play stuff. Multiple people behind a firewall can not play MS games such as AoE because the router can. . . actually, long story short, the firewall forwards a whole range of ports to what ever PC requests it first. So, it could be something similar where the router can't figure out who needs what ports cause it's automatically forwarding a whole range to one user.
Over all, don't know enough about VPNs to know what to look for.
But, I'd bet there's a 90% chance it's at the hotel's end and there's nothing you can do about it. Have one of them connect via a dial up.
