A few rules apply when running multiple islands on your puter.

1) You must have separate regi.dats for each island.
2) Each island must run from a separate folder containing all the data required for that island. (As mentioned elsewhere, the next version of the software allows you to share model and texture folders between different islands - for now, each island needs a whole separate folder)
3) Each island must have a separate port number - set this in the ServerConfig.txt for each island.

If you've stuck to all those then im a bit stumped and will need to investigate it some more..
