No internet service, no Vray

[g_i_joe]

I was thinking of disconnecting my internet service because I am
Not happy with my provider, come to find out I cannot use Vray.
I was very disappointed that I must have internet service
to use Vray. This could be a problem if your internet is down.

Im not putting Vray down I think its great!

[g_i_joe]

personal licence of max 6 and Vray


Thanks for the reply Natty

[natty]

so why does vray not work .. ? if its local

[g_i_joe]

Very very strange my opologies
to everyone. dont know why
when i disconnect the dsl box it didnt work.
maybe a glitch. i recreated what i did and it works
fine. very sorry for the missinformation

Maybe it requires a network connection for the vray server? If it does you can fake this in windows xp. Im not 100% sure how, but you can do it if its needed.

[natty]

perhaps you have given chaos the wrong ip ?

[zapcat]

Could it be something to do with Max's need to be able access the internet? It was a new requirement with Max 6.

Just a guess....

afiak thats only MR that needs to...

still on max 5 here, but 6 bleeted about it, but after enabling the local network and writing a few rules max and MR function fine without talking to the net.

dont see why vray would need to, unless perhaps your using a network license for max (guessing)...our machines are off the net, the function fine.

The license server needs it, it does not need an internet connection but it does need TCP/IP installed.

THanks guys but everything works fine now
i disconnected my internet to see if it required
an internet connetion and it still worked without it

cant explain what happened but at one point i did disconnect
the internet and it stopped working and i only happend once.
could have been that my network card glitched i dont know.

just hope that in the future software company's dont make it a reqirement.
