Namecoin Forum

Hello,
I'm trying to run a namecoin node on a machine that currently runs a bitcoin node, but it appears that bitcoin&namecoin uses the same port to comunicate between nodes (8333)[Reference].
Currently i'm forwarding the 8333 port on my router to allow the bitcoin nodes traffic, but i don't know which one forward to namecoin.

Any help is welcome.

bitcoin uses 8333. namecoin uses 8334. You are probably seeing a clash in the rpc port. You should use '-rpcport' on the command line or 'rpcport' in the .conf file for one of the clients to change that. It defaults to 8332.

Found it, thank you!
