Are you passing through PPTP connections? In that case you need to read up
on GRE protocol and PPTP. Basically it's a limitation of PPTP and NAT
together; that and packet sequence numbers. If you assigned a different
external source IP too each internal PPTP connection, you can run more than
1 NAT'ed connection...but that defeats the purpose of using NAT.

You might have more success with OpenVPN (google it) which is
cross-platform, uses TCP and is fully NAT-able :)
