Only one server at a time can use a given port. If your windows server is already using port 3000, then you can't start another server on that same port. You will have to either stop the first server or pick a different port number.

Or, use some sort of proxy as your only listener on port 3000 and have it divide the traffic among your two servers which would each run on different ports.
