With what error? Just the one referenced at the end of your original  
message? I myself have not encountered that specific issue. There are  
no restrictions to my knowledge in connections unless you specify  
them, Ie player numbers, passwords, etc.

Shouldn't be an issue. A license is not needed for the server. I  
copied the required files from my same cd.

Providing setup correct ( or some weird thing is not happening with  
your setup ), running the server with the same cd files from both  
server and client shouldn't matter.

Did you google this? On the first page there was a result on fpsadmin  
where they had the issue due to the server and client not having  
proper timezone settings, and running early (maybe part if the recent  
daylight savings time change?)
