Weird server

Hi all,

Recently I started experimenting with running a server om my LAN (not conn. to inet), but these weird things start happening.
I had over a million in cash (hey, I'm all alone in my universe, LOL), and bought a Titan (I normally go for the Centurion, but I wanted to test the level 10 weapons). Now I docked to Freistadt Base, and logged off. After logging in next day, I had over half a million damage, all my stats where scrambled (no one was pissed atr me, and I made the Hessians HATE me.)
Annyone had the same or similar experience?

Oh yeah, running 1.0 (upgrading soon) and had some problems shutting down server last time (not responding).

I've had this glitch again, twice...but it happens only in a radioactive system.
When I log off and log in again, I have a damaged ship (as if it was outside of the base, soaking up radiation damage like a freeze dried sponge)..

I upgraded to 1.1, but it still sez 1.0 in the top of my server window..annyone?

Hey..helloooo..anyone? I really need help here...

I've tested some more, and found out that it has nothing to do with radioactive systems. It doesn't matter where I land my ship, after being logged out for an extended amount of time, logging in again reveals a f***ing heap-o-damage (starting to piss me off)..

Does anyone have a clue on what could be the cause of this?

I run a LAN server too, (1.0) never seen this.
How the hell do you get damage while DOCKED?!? 1/2 a mil yet!
Did you ever mod? You could try a re-install and see if that helps!

A little humor (for those elsewhere, humour). This above event happened to a friend of mine. Found out his little brother actually DID know how to use his computer and even play FL! Sort of.

Sometimes I get an error while submitting a post. Hence two posts in a row.

That's just it, it's driving me nuts!
Did quite a few re-installs, but always the same. No mods? Damage! Mods? Damage too! Fresh install? Damage too *sigh*...there's one funny thing though; Although my laptop has a 600 MHz processor, FL install always says it didn't find the minimum processor (XP itself says in 'system' it has a PIII@603 MHz)..

No one but me touches my pc..unless I have a bad case of FL gremlins..

Have you tried BOTH shutting down the server first and the client first?
Maybe the order in which you do shutdown may have an effect.

Hmm, I normally quit to main menu in FL client first, then I shut down the server..

Maybe all those AI pilots that hate ya vandalize yer ship after you leave....
