   I don't know about a PIX specifically but the following are   
   possibilities :-   
      
   a) the PIX would reject the connection of the *second* user using   
      192.168.0.1 to avoid the possibility of a routing conflict.   
      
   b) the PIX will allow multiple users to connect with 192.168.0.1 but   
      this will result in a routing conflict so either all traffic to   
      192.168.0.1 will go to one of the users or it will flap back and   
      forth causing TCP connections to fail and traffic to be lost.   
      
   c) the PIX has been configured to dynamically NAT all remote subnets   
      to another IP range to ensure that everyone appears to have a   
      unique subnet and so avoid a routing conflict.
