CHAMBERS, YA BIG DUMMY!!! :P
It's [tv]Fred!! Guess you guys got the 2nd server up! LOL

Crow king has a post about changes he's adding for the next version of autokick here: http://mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=213&sid=bd4b575221388b5c695383efb48f0859

#1 on the list is support for multiple servers.

Now until then, you should be able to run 2 copies of AK (AutoKick). I've never tried this, so I could be wrong but here's what I would try. install AK agn to a different location on your computer (don't put it at the same spot as the copy you already have). then make a shortcut for each copy on your desktop and give each one a different name so you can keep them straight. Open one and enter the info for your 1st server, then open the other and give it info for the other. then you should be able to run both of them at the same time. Agn... I haven't tried this, but it should work (unless there is a port conflict or something). Anyway give it a try! And stop by and see us at [tv]Land some time!!

K... So I finally had a chance to try this out (now that the new [tv]Land server is up). It does not work. My guess is AK doesn't like to share registry entries between installed copies. Plus it seems to bind to a winsock, which it also wont share!! So looks like we're out of luck here... just have to wait for CK to finish the new version I guess.

I tried what you suggested, and came to similar conclusions. If there were a way to simulataneously run two operating systems on one computer I think it may be possible. It appears that it uses system files that don't like being shared. If you have 2 hard drives can't you run 2 operating systems? I don't dabble in that sort of thing, and I am sure a whole bunch of computer geeks are snickering at me right now. I hope mine and Fred's little trial and error may save others a little time. If anybody can get this to work please post it.

...well but you wouldn't be able to boot both OS's at the same time. About the best thing for right now is to find a second computer that you can run connected 24/7. Keep in mind that the new autokick is supposed to handle multiple game servers, so I wouldn't sink much money into anything, and just count the days till the new autokick release I guess.

Unless somebody out there has a solution????
