[kwok3d]

did anyone ever have this problem before? I'm not sure if this is vray's problem but it had happened before in another workstation. it fixed itself by rebooting a few times. now this happen to me and i couldn't get it fix...

Well that is might weirdy, well assuming the first 2 sets of numbers are the same. Otherwise then all is fine.

It wouldnt possible for all those machines to be actually sharing the same IP because then they wouldnt be connected to the network. So im assuming its a display problem only or something similar.

Do they all render properly?

[kwok3d]

well, these same ip (xxx.xxx.228.134) are our external ip address. we all connected to the server which is 250. these rackstns are 131, 132 and 133. I'm renderstn1, that why I can identify myself as 151.

This problem will once a while happen to one of our station and be gone after a while... but i can't work like this I could ping to all these station with no problem. I dont know what else i can try now. I'm wondering if i'm the only person who has this problem?

Weird, so its picking up your external IP address for all the renderslaves...that odd. Maybe some weird network/routing issue.

I assume you can ping all the rackstns without and problems?
Also does everything render ok? or does it fail with those rackstns

I had a similar problem with other software... It turned out to be Adware hijacking. Try running an Adaware scan. www.lavasoft.de

i can ping all station, no problem, all firewalls are off. i could render with just my station, all other dR stations failed connecting...

i dont think it's cause from spyware or virus, i always have ad-watch on. i'll do some scanning tomorrow... if still doesn't work, then... i guess i dont know.

If your machines have static IP addresses, it would be best to enter these in the DR settings dialog directly, instead of the machine names.
