Ok.
My new server runs smooth as silk.
Until...
Whenever someone signs off, a huge amount of lag dominates the server, and stays on until I restart it.
Is this the result of a bad conf file switch?
Or is it a connection problem.
Its hosted on a 750 K DSL connection.
Should be enough....
Any suggestions?
Some of the players say they've "seen that before".
I can post my conf file if needed.
Server Sign Off = Lag

I have the same problem, and you run windows, right? (the avatar...) DTRemenak told me it was a general problem with windows. oh boy, that gives me hope.
The windows server has had this problem for a very long time. I don't know why, it's an elusive problem. Best advice for now at least is to find an old computer (bzfs runs quite satisfactorily on pentium 1 machines, as long as you aren't running the word filter), install some variant of unix (e.g. linux or bsd), and run the server on that.

I use ZipSlack (a stripped down version of Slackware) and it can host a server. I have it running on my Pentium 133MHz. The main thing you can't do on a system of this speed is profanity filters, as they eat up way too much CPU power.
