I'm having a very odd issue with DR lately. After sending a job to the slaves, I noticed that only workstations in my network workgroup seem to participate. Slaves in the "slaves" workgroup were actually loading the scene, but would never get to the raytracing, and the CPUs all stay around 50%. Then I started rendering with the message box open, and what I see happening is just as the rendering is almost complete, the IRmap is being sent slowly to the other slaves in the "slaves" workgroup. So, maybe 1 or 2 slaves will jump in right at the end. But mostly they are just useless.
The odd thing is that this is only a very recent phenomenon. This wasn't happening a week ago. I probably still need to do a little more testing, but I'm going to be slammed here shortly and figured by posting this, I might be able to come to a solution faster.
All machines are running SP3a. Workstations are all running Vista 64. Slaves are all running XP 64. Also, I tried switching a slave from the "slave" workgroup to the "workstation" workgroup and it made no difference at all.
Would installing SP4 throughout help out?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
