Create a shortcut of the Second Life icon on your desktop. Then right click and go to properties. Then when it opens up go to where it says target and at the end of it put in a
-multiple (Make sure their is a space before the dash. So it would look like this...) "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple and im not sure but i think you have to add the -multiple for every new update... so i have heard... i think... not sure on that part. Enjoy. |

From the help wiki at http://secondlife.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=CommandLine%20Options
Right click or control click on the SecondLife? icon and choose 'Show Package Contents' Browse from there to Contents -> Resources Look for a file called 'arguments.txt'. If it does not exist, create it. Inside this file add any command line arguments you want, these are the same ones that work for the PC. In this case the line to add in the arguments.txt file would be "-multiple" _____________________

Note: putting two clients in the same place can lead to update issues.
If you're pimping multiple PCs on a router, you can sometimes get eachthers IMs. That's pretty much all my advice. |

I usually have 3 (not just me) accounts running on the same router, I even log a couple of my alts in at the same time that my main is on. That means a total of 5, at one time, and I've had no problems. |

Values that work for me: 13000 and 13001 Interesting... and potentially useful. |
