Need help setting up PC to host two modules from same PC

[Legacy_SavageRealmsDM]

               

I've been hosting a persisent world action server for many years.  Recently I decided I would like to host a second mod from the same PC and same servervault as my original mod.  PC is behind a comcast cable box which has an integral router.

 

The question is how do I do it?

 

Same port?  Different port?  How to handle port forwarding, etc?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Here's a link to my forums if you want to check-out the mod:

IP address is on the forums.

 

Thanks in advance,

I don't know everything, but I think I know enough to answer this one. Your new server will have the same IP but a different port. Whatever you did to handle port forwarding for your first server, keep it the same as it is now, but make sure it includes the new port.

               Yes -
Same IP Address, but different ports.
If you use a wireless router or even a wired router - you will need to have your PC in the DMZ or do port forwarding to allow external players to join it.

Eg:
If first module uses 5121, and second uses 5122
then you will need to forward the external 5121 and 5122 to the internal 5121 and 5122 of your server/pc machine.

An alternative is using something like Hamachi - which would in theory allow everyone who is in the same virtual network, to access the server without worrying about port forwarding.
But that has the obvious disadvantage of requiring everyone to install the vpn software.
