hi i want to test my application which involves one server and a few clients. it is necessary that 2 clients at least will be connected to the server in order to test it's functionality. i succeeded to run one client and the server on the same machine and debug it. is it possible to run 2 clients at the same times? the problem is that the remote server uses a specific port for remoting, and i believe that in order to run two clients i need 2 ports. is there a simpler solution? thanks Tal

I'd say it would be simplest to have a second debugging machine with it's own installation of Visual Studio - perhaps you could run the second one in Virtual PC?

You can always run the client project/solution in another instance of visual studio and debug it. if you are running the client on a specific port/channel then you will need to change the port/channel so that there are no conflicts. I would imagine that you have this information in a config file so it should be fairly trivial to update.

the problem is that by changing the port i am changing the architecture of the application, since it assumes all the remoting calls by the clients are done through the same port.

i tried to configure the server to accept remote calls on two different ports, but i got a runtime error which said ""tcp" channel is already registered". is it possible to build a server which get remote calls on two different ports?

i was referring to the client channels not the server ones. Are you building a P2P app?
