Vray DR Problem Windows 7 64bit+winxp 64bit

[hagen]

Hello,

Just updated my hardware and software--i7 workstation with 12 GB DDR3 Ram on Windows 7 prof 64 bit. (all max 2009 64bit +Vray 1.5 SP3a)
Slave Quad Q6600 + 4 GB Ram/ windows xp 64bit

It seems that DR does not work.....I connected the network drive (Z /all max stuff) as usually from the slave---all windows firewalls off...i have network access on folders between the two computers.
Vray installtion quite normal.....when it comes to DR: Spawner starts normal.

I get no failure notices in the Vray Log (Box)---just scene transfered to XXX.XXX.X.X (IP) and starting in brown color.....then i can see in the task manager that CPU usage etc is raising to 25% for some seconds---the 0% and nothing...
no failure notice like render host failed etc.....
just the workstation renders with 8 buckets---no slave

ok there comes now also the failure notice that the render host is unkown is not responding....

with win xp 32bit and winxp64bit (slave) everything worked fine- just for info

Any ideas?

Thank you!-never change a running system---i changed...lol

Is it possible that Mapped Network Drives don´t work any mor wih Windows 7 for network Rendering....Backburner also doesn t work.

Well. Try to update your drivers. We have integrated marvell yukon controller, and somehow eyeon fusion slaves just got stuck at some point. We updated win 7 drivers and everything went smooth, but I never had this for vray.

BTW - we're using win7 RC (me using server version, the workstation with fusion using plain win7). Still not sure if I'm interested in server stuff or maybe win7 enterprise....

Spawner running normally or as a service...?

[hagen]

yes running normally....

same here: marvell yukon controller

Will try with win7 drivers...

thank you

[hagen]

marvel yukon driver and all mainboard driver updated....Board Asus P6T Deluxe V2--

doesn t work....very strange---will setup the next slave with windows xp 64bit and see if it works there....

i don t get win7 64bit and xp 64 bit work in DR mode..also no backburner

Uffff

PLZ HELP---GETTING WEIRD---

the whole network (2 slaves/ 1 workstation/ 1 laptop) is now set up by static IP, by Hand / @router DHCP disabled.....everything works fine-internet on every machine, but NO DR and Backburner with Vray...

I m getting from the nodes (per browser...) no contact to the workstation with dongle(licence)....???
