MachineID

If you have a single CPU in your machine, you don't need to worry about the Machine ID #. If you have multiple CPUs or cores, you'll probably want to run one client per CPU/core. The Machine ID # can be any value from 1 to 8 (1-16 on new beta clients), and each client must have a unique Machine ID #. The GUI clients (Windows and Mac) cannot change the MachineID so they normally will remain at MachineID=1; only the Console clients can be set to other values. Windows users should add the -local flag when running more than one F@h client on a computer.

Note: If you have several computers running the FAH client then the MachineID value should start from 1 on every one of these computers (as long as the UserID is different).
