Hi Kai,

Two independent processes on the same machine cannot share Ethernet ports as each will reconfigure the ports for its own use when it runs. To run independent processes, you need to assign unique ports to each one and blacklist the ports being used by any other processes so that the new process doesn't reset those ports and stop the other processes from working.

Regards,
/Bruce
