DR - host not responding

[Philip_cg]

I have recently started using Distributed Rendering and very good it is too. I now have a problem though on my latest kitchen interior where the spawner gets part way through and the message "host not responding" is seen in the message box. I have rendered the separate objects without any problem. Could it just be the size of the model? Any help would be appreciated.

Large models crash the spawner sometimes. What makes you spawner? Any message?

Computers used:

Main. Athlon XP2800, 1.5Gb memory, XP Home with SP2

Spawner. Athlon XP2000, 768Mb memory, XP Home with SP2

The spawner either doesn't get past initial line saying it is running, or it will get to just before rendering and then seem to hang. I will confirm my observations later.

I have just tried swapping the renderer and spawner and I get the same result. Any scene will render fine on either computer, but only simpler? models will work with DR. Am I right in thinking this rules out a computer problem and it is a DR bug?

The current spawner crashs at large scenes. If your spawner crashs, than you must wait for the next SR. I report the large scene crash per email in the past, so it's on Joes list and will be fixed.

Should have read the readme file better. Spawner is now in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ASGvis...
