David,
networks _are_ very weird beasts! A lot of us would probably love a
dedicated server solution, but can't afford it. The next best thing
might be to pick the _most_ stable system you have and make that the
non-dedicated server. I, being very stupid at the time, picked the
most unstable of my 3 systems to be the server. (pass the pointed
"dunce" hat, derrrr!). This became such a problem that I started
using the network just to send out projects to each rendering
station, so that each rendering station had the required project and
all maps locally. I then just have the 3ds network directory on the
local system – this is so that no system is depending on the server
if it crashes, everything it needs is on it's local drive. This was
more of a desperate measure, and once I have a stable server I'll
probably go the intended route.
