If you create a fresh install of 3ds Max on a machine, you need run at least one Backburner job with this machine as a server before you can use the machine for distributed rendering.

If you see a 3ds Max window flashing on the taskbar and then disappearing, right-click on the V-Ray DR spawner icon in the taskbar tray, select Exit to close the DR spawner and try running a regular Backburner job with this machine as the server. After that, try to start the V-Ray DR spawner again.

No no, render start normaly on both machines without any problem, but after minute or so both DR just crash. But then I found out when I use standard render without DR, max crash. So this DR crash is caused probably by something, so I am solving this here:
