Distributed rendering

[COS_cg]

I can't seem to get DR to work, no matter what I do: with and without firewalls, etc. The machines communicate OK, but when I render I just get the message "render host ---- is not responding" for the remote machine.

Can anyone tell me what the parameters are which determine whether DR will work or not? Could it be network/processor speed, for example?

I am running XP dual core machines with 3 Gb RAM on each.

Re: Distributed rendering

Do you know if the version of the spawner are from the same build as your version of VfR? This is one of the major causes of issue with DR. Both VfR and the spawners need to be from the same build in order to work correctly.

Re: Distributed rendering

I updated to the latest build on all machines and that did the trick. Thank you, Damien!
