10 people joined my server last night. everything seems work good, but i hear this message:

zserver petition : myiphere 7998 zone server boot up failed!!

why cant people zone. i can zone into all places very good when im alone but not if there are more that 4 people online.

my server is hosted in a windows xp pro machine 2.6 Ghz and 1Gb RAM and my internet connection is 300kbs

First of all, is that upload or download speeds? You have to figure about 6k/s per user. Secondly, how many zones do you have set up in your load5zones.bat? If you have the default number of zones it SHOULD be self explanitory. But if not I will try and explain it. If you have 10 people online, as long as they are only spread out amoungst 5 zones, you should be fine, but when one of those people try and go to the 6th zone they will crash every time, because you only have 5 zones booted up.. What you CAN do though, is to add more zones in your load5zones.bat file. Just add lines that look exactly as the others look but move one number up on every port number.
Eg......

Start zone . 192.168.1.3 7995 external IP

would become on the next line:

Start zone . 192.168.1.3 7996 external ip

which of course you can see the file IS already like that... Just add as many as you like, but remember youll have to have the power to run that many zones.
