hello guys, i have something really strange over here. i have DR working in one of my machines, but this machine is an old machine, so, i guess would be better to starts it from the stronger machine. but is impossible to do that. the old machine have 1gb of ram, the other one has 2 gb and i dont know what to do, i can have it working but why only in the weak machine? any tips? ---

same here, tried a few days without luck. other DR solutions (banshee, finalrender) and normal network is just working fine. ---

the most strange is that it works, but not from the machine i would like it works. the smaller machine has only 1 gb and i guess i would speed up the render if i starts from the machine with 2gb of memory ---

Running SP2 and MAX 7 here, no problems with DR so far. Only three machines, however. One is win 2000. No problems with it either. Tony ---

what i can figure out is that there isnt a good profile, just some people can use it and some cant. In my case for instance, i can use DR from computer A to computer B, but not the opose. thats weird ---

the problem on our systems is, that the scene file that is copied into the slaves network folder is 0 bytes. i hope that vlado looks into this, some other reported this too. ---

In my case for instance, i can use DR from computer A to computer B, but not the opose. thats weird damn I seem to be having the same problem, couldnt get it to work, so I tried it the other way, the licence + spawner is running on comp A the client/max is running on B and it worked so at least I can do it for the final render, but if it worked the other way around I could always use DR for everyrender 😕 comp B is running 2000, and A is using win2k wonder if thats got anything to do with it ---

well I seemed to have fixed it I changed the maps so they were all on my shared folder [mapped to the same drive on all pc’s] that didnt help but I noticed it wanted to save everytime I rendered [the dialog came up] so I turned off incremental on save and now it works! I turned it back on just to see if it wouldnt work again, and it didnt work YAY so silver make sure you have incremental on save turned off **edit : well scratch all that, it is working with incremental on, so I dont know what fixed it - sorry about all the crazy talking to myself on the foum 🙂**
