I have been told that you need to have at least one computer running windows on the network to do network rendering with WFW. I know of one person who puts just the control files on a slow WFW server but sends all of the rendered files to one of the 3D Studio stations. The server doesn't even have 3D Studio installed on it. I only have 2 computers and I would like to put both to work on a rendering job without needing one running windows. I am currently doing this with Lantastic but it takes a lot of system resources and crashes more than I would like. I'm hoping that I can use just the DOS functionality of WFW on each of the computers either as is or with the DOS add on for WFW that I have seen for sale. Any specifics on how to this would be appreciated. 3DSNET.TXT didn't help much. Thanks Don Hayward
