Hi! I just want to ask if it's true that windows xp can not handle 10+ people to connect my server? i got a server running and found out that when there are 5+ people online and someone will connect, the other 1 will be disconnected (dc1). my server got 100mbps and unmetered bandwidth, i dont think i got problems with the connection.
this is bsQuote:

its depends on the computer and the internet connection..
and dont take chances use microsoft server 2003
how about the monsters? i put so many flags in every maps.. maybe that's the reason for dc1?
Spawn points (flags and NPCs) are stored in a fixed length array file in the gameserver\fields folder. As it's not a linked list... if you add more flags they will wipe out old ones. :(
There are limits on the number of connections the free versions of SQL Server will allow... if you are using the version of SQL that comes packaged with newer versions of XP, all versions of Vista or Win7, and the Microsoft Desktop Search they are designed for simultaneous connections by 1 user, not a single connection from many individual users... so that could well max out at 10 connections.
SQL 2005 Express has a limit of some 150 - 200 users IMS, where the paid for versions have no such limit. There are two free versions of SQL Server 2000, and I understand there limits are much lower... but how low, I don't know. Again, the professional, paid for versions of SQL 2000 have no user limit imposed.
It's an artificial limit imposed to comply with the license... MS say, if you have lots of users, pay us. It's as simple as that.
