By reading the FAQ to the end...

Windows
We recommend you to use *NIX for serious (big) servers, *NIX has several advantages over the Win system.. one being supreme stability, 2nd is unreal at *NIX supports modules which is really great for big servers/nets.
Also note that few nets run >1000 users servers anyway, it's usually better to spread users among servers.

Lots of connections on windows are really a bitch. If you are using w9x then you might not even reach 100, if you use NT/W2K/XP you'll usually reach 1000 with the official build.
It's possible to get more than that, but that requires SEVERAL modifications like upping maxconnections, the fdlist size (to *insane* values == eat lots of cpu), etc... Not something that is really recommended so we cannot give you support on that.

I don't think you wanna fix it on windows...
If you can change to a Linux server, do that!
Else: Link another Server to the Network

We are NOT going to support this. It requires not only modifying UnrealIRCd, and your operating system as well.
