In your sbbs.ini (in sbbs/ctrl), under the [BBS] section, try decreasing (or setting) the value of the MaxConcurrentConnections setting.  I was having the same issue lately, and I noticed my MaxConcurrentConnections was 8, meaning it would allow up to 8 connections from the same IP address.  Per a suggestion from Digital Man, I decreased that to 2, and that helped a lot.
