user19166: simple question. I would like to run several full nodes for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Darkcoin and so on, but don't they run on the same port (8333)? Will this just work or do I need to give them several different ports?
Cheers

user29310: Most of the different coins already run on different ports so you should be able to run these without problems (other than resource issues if your machine can't handled it).  You may need to just check the default port assignments and vary them.
If you want to run multiple instances of bitcoin for example you need to change ports.
-port=<port>           Listen for connections on <port> (default: 8333 or testnet: 18333)
-rpcport=<port>        Listen for JSON-RPC connections on <port> (default: 8332 or testnet: 18332)

You will allso need the -noupnp flag to disable upnp so that you can manually nat external ports.

user8717: You need to give them different ports. Refer to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin on how to listen on different ports.
