Hello! I want to run a program twice at one time but it detects that another instance is running and closes down... Is there any way that I can isolate the programs so they cannot detect each other? ~Noah Crocker

That did not work since they are detecting each other in ram...
Still problem... It does call Java if that makes a difference...

You do it wrong, you should call different wineprefixes. Eg. WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine GomezPEER2.exe WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-gomez2" wine GomezPEER2.exe Where .wine is the default wineprefix and .wine-gomez2 is your second wineprefix. So ".wine" is computer 1 and .wine-gomez2 is computer 2
The first one was started without a prefix and the second was with a wine prefix... the line you see is an earlier attempt which had expired
I see, sorry about that. I have no clue then.

Seeing it is a "money making" program, it would be highly likely.
It is designed to run on more than one computer... we do it all the time on multiple boxes some with and some without QEMU virtual machines... it COULD be a network address issue... they do use the same port i think...
so how does the virtual network adapter work on QEMU... I think a network bridge may solve the problem but i don't know how to get one working (have tried before)
