First off, if you're connected to an ISP which does not provide static IP's,
(ie: Various Dial-up connections) your IP will change each time you connect
to the main server.  The best way to solve this is to get a copy of WinMOO
if your server if NT based from: 
  http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~cunkel/WinMOO/winmoo-faq.html
 (http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~cunkel/WinMOO/WinMOO-0.1.0beta4.zip)
...and place it into your personal account... Have your ISP's SysAdmin place
the batch file (coded for future maint, etc) into their startup directory and
launch it. The current realease of WinMOO is v0.1.0beta4, which has fixed the
problems with the random() function and the MOO server crashing from various
pas() routines. 

Another possible problem is that the port you selected may be conflicting with
some other server feature... ie: finger, etc..  ...Again, check with your ISP
to verify that the selected port is not being used.

Below is a sample of a batch file to submit to your ISP (Obvious changes will
need to be made...)

--- TOP MyMOO.bat ---
@ECHO OFF
SET TZ=CST-6CST
:START
IF EXIST MyMOO.db.PANIC REN MyMOO.db.PANIC MyMOO.db>NUL
winmoo -log MyMOO.log -o MyMOO.db MyMOO.db 2000
IF EXIST WAIT GOTO WAIT
GOTO START
:WAIT
ECHO Waiting for remote maintenance to be completed...
:LOOP
IF EXIST WAIT GOTO LOOP
GOTO START
--- END MyMOO.bat ---

Hope this helps....
