Distributed render not responding

[nomads]

Hi,

I am sure this is a common problem but I cannot find a solution.

Trying to render a frame using the distributed render.

My scene is setup for network rendering and renders ok through back burner so all xrefs and maps are pathed correctly.

Have run the DR spawner on all slave machines. Told the fire wall to let the DR spawner through.

When I render I get the warning messages saying Render host.... is not responding.

My workstation does a few buckets all the others are black.

Is there something else I need to let through the fire wall?

Any tips

I would suggest to disable the firewall and see if it works. If it does, there might be some other things you need to do, depending on firewall etc.

The spawner's are started manually or as a service ?
Please try to disable firewall completely as Morbid Angel said, it is important in order to narrow down the issue.
