DR Vray Error Messages...need help

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

I am using 2 machines to use Distributed Rendering, both with quad cores. One is the host machine and the other is the slave.

I am getting 2 warnings from the vray message window when using DR.

1) “Could not connect to host 192.168.0.199: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.”

2)“Render host 192.168.0.199 is not responding”

I have all firewalls off, vrayspawner running on slave machine, IP addresses resolve fine. ID’s fpr both machines shows up in the frame buffer as if both are rendering.

Vray message window suggests that all info is being sent to slave machine.

I have no idea why I am getting these messages and how to fix the problem if not “connecting to host” or “actively refusing” connection.

have you tried with a different scene?

Yes…I have tried with a variety of scenes and have even created new scenes.

The messages mean that either there is no V-Ray spawner running on the slave machine, or something blocks the connection between the two machines.

Best regards,

I have the same after I installed Map2009 sp1, but it only happens with 1 scene and i cant seem to fix it so far.

All the paths are fine, no missing plugins and can load the file on the nodes.

Its driving me nuts :frowning:
