It's not a problem. You may have trouble telling the devices apart, but that shouldn't matter.

Re: boinc on vmware; same hostname

Not 100% sure, but if using the <suppress_net_info>1</suppress_net_info> function in the cc_config.xml, the WCG servers might show the underlying unique device IDs instead of the host name! The device ID would also show in the individual clients start up log as e.g.

7/10/2008 6:27:34 AM|World Community Grid|URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 123456; location: work; project prefs: work

to be able to isolate the results of a problem client if need be.

Code to use in the cc_config.xml:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<suppress_net_info>1</suppress_net_info>
</options>
</cc_config>

NB: Removed all lines but the relevant to demonstrate format.

Let us know if you use it of the working.
