DR across different IP range?

[Preisler]

Hi,

Is it possible to use DR on for example 10.1.10.x and 10.1.20.x at the same time? ...same subnet (255.255.255.0).

We have some problems getting it to work.

All workstations and nodes are Win7 64 bit, 3ds Max 2010 64 bit, network running IPv4.
They all render fine with Vray through backburner.
All nodes can be used as Vray RT slaves with CPU rendering.

From the Vray log file:
...
Starting DR 2
[2012/Jul/10|14:04:02] dr host: 10.1.20.97
[2012/Jul/10|14:04:02] dr host: 10.1.10.132
[2012/Jul/10|14:04:02] Connected to render host 10.1.20.97:20204

Is the DRspawner set to run as a service on the node 10.1.10.132? If so try to stop the service and start it manually. Does it make a difference?
If not please send the vraylog.txt file from 10.1.10.132 to support@chaosgroup.com

Hi Marti

It works when all DRspawners are set to manually - so thanks!
