>> "Be-Deep" Lantastic has overall been a great convenience. I love the peer-to-peer benefits. I've had Novell experts in awe with the flexibility. However, the dreaded "be-deep" can often mean the loss of a night's rendering time. The built-in flexibility means that things here are constantly changing to meet our needs. For instance, 2 weeks ago, the administrative assistant (notice the PC language?!? <G>) got a 500 MB hard drive. Now everyone on the net wants to grab up that storage space! After thinking through the common sense advice you gave, I realized another "little" change that I recently made. At first glance, it almost makes sense, but on further reflection, I realize the mistake in my logic. To "share the work", I put the 3ds network files on system "A" and stored the images on system "B". This means that both systems need to access the net. If the net files and images are on the SAME system, only ONE needs to access the net. Whammo! No more collisions! I'll be trying some changes today, and we'll see how things work out. Thanks again. (and thanks also to DonL, who got me thinking about recent changes). – Dave
