I installed a different set of CFG files, and my OZ server has been running
for 50 hours with 3 bots! That is a record, I can't remember the last time
it ran for so long.
It's the CFG files. Depending on what is in them, your server can crash
every hour on the hour, it can run and run and run.
You mean second highest, second only to getting hlds stable again, I hope?

Not to mention it is extremely bad manners. Do you want to piss off your

Just out of curiosity, what are your experiences playing on servers with

This has absolutely nothing to do with my subnet mask - this has to do with

That sounds about right (more or less). I have 256

I've been playing with OZ, and I'm having a hell of a time keeping the
server running. I think it's the bots - the more bots, the faster the server
crashes. If I put 10 bots on the server, it won't run 10 minutes without
crashing. If I put 2 or 3 bots, it runs for longer, sometimes 5-10 hours.
Is there a way to inhibit this message from Win2000? When the server
