If it isn't related to running bother server on the same box (which it most likely is), then the only other thing I can think of is that you might not have enough ports set to be forwarded on your router. If you have 25 dynamic zones setup to run, you will want MUCH more than 25 ports to be forwarded. I run 25 zones and have 100 ports forwarded for it (7000-7100) and it works perfectly.

The problem is in the way new zones are started. If you set the number of ports being forwarded to the same as the number of zones you boot up, then if 1 zone crashes, almost every zone after that that tries to start will crash as well. This is because it tries to use the next available port that is higher than the highest in use. If you have all of them used up, then it won't be able to load another dynamic zone.

This might not be your issue, but it is all I can think of atm.
