I already have a good operating allstar node on one computer. I am installing another node on another computer. I intend to move this node to a different location and wifi. They are both going to be initially on the same wifi as I test this new node. I have expanded my node number on my first server.

1. Do I need to set this new node up on a separate server because it is on a different computer?

2. Is the expanded node number going to work on a new server or is that just for that paticular server?

3. Because they are on different computers (even though are on the same wifi during the testing phase) do I need to change the port number from 4569?

Thanks,

William Morris
