How to set up DR and Backburner

[rajdarge]

Ok. 2 new computers qx6700. Cool baby...Oops had to reconfigure network. Names, IP addresses...
So now Vray slave DR rendering don't work. Set it up again...No problems....

HOW DO I DO THAT AGAIN?

How do I actually use DR as a backburner job. What do I have to do with windows stupid firewall, why is the first thing to fall over ALWAYS vray DR. What am I doing wrong....
Is there a simple walk through somewhere so I don't have to figure it out all over again, that takes into account the changes in Vray 1.50.00

OK

I looked up the DOCS and they've changed. Yipeee

and there is a walkthrough

this is the error message I get with max 8 on the render slaves

so what am i doing wrong with the licensing.
the other machine has the little dongle in it. I can see It. But for some reason the slaves don't seem to like it I point it to the IP address of the machine with the dongle in it But still no joy.

Although I'm not an expert at DR and backburner, I do know that there is a fix for it in SP1. Whether or not it will fix your problem, I don't know...but when it comes out in a few days, you can give it another try.
