I have 2 yes 2 graphical clients (pre-release 4.0) folding on my machine and they are both humming along happily and both are showing work on the F@H servers.
I manually edited the config with notepad on the 2nd instance to read machine 2 and it works.
I have one instance running on my main user profile while the second is in a user profile I made just for the purpose of keeping both instances separated...I installed the second instance into a folder in the documents for the 2nd user profile, started the client, got it configured as far as I could then stopped it opened the folder and edited the cfg file then restarted it.
It works like a charm.
Yeah, the one on my main user is machine 1 and the one on my second is machine 2.
If you open the client.cfg on whichever is the 2nd client with note pad you can change the machine id entry to read machine2.
