Tom, You can do it if you have a piece of software that lets you identify the drives and/or directories of the "other" systems as virtual drives. I don't know if such software is out there, but I can certainly envision how to write such a thing for TCP/IP so I assume that there is a good chance that it exists. Check with some other newsgroups to see what they have on that end. Once you've got that you can set up studio to network render. Remember that studio's network rendering really works through the sharing of the Master Control File. Put that on one of your systems, set up the others to locate that directory via a virtual drive and then tell them that the MCS is on [Virtual Drive]/:[whatever directory]. Hope this helps.
