#Need help with slave net
4 messages in this thread
Can anyone help. I can't figure out how to use Window for Workgroups to
network render. WFW only connects to the network while I'm running windows.
Do you know of any good books on the subject, or can you recommend a good
peer-to-peer network that has excellent file sharing capabilities.
Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Somewhere in the manual it tells you how to network from within DOS. Can't
remember where.
You will need to have at least one of the computers running WFW at the time of
rendering, which basically means that you will not be able to use that machine
for rendering. Once you've got WFW running, you should be able to link to the
other machines which have booted up with the WFW drivers, but have not yet
started WFW. Use these machines for rendering. Some folks use DOS for
workgroups and can thus add one more machine to the peer-to-peer system.
By the way, we've got some info on Network rendering on a FAX: call
415/507-5595 and select document 890. There are other topics available:
Creating Simple 3D Studio GemoeTrees, Swap Space and the SGI, Troubleshootin
Display Configuration, Hardware locks, and Troubleshooting Reflections maps.
Your question would have been fine in the 3D Studio section (this Take5 section
is usually a low priority for technical issues; it's more a chat section).
Hi James!
Both Steve and I use Netware Lite 1.1 on a 10 Base – T network. It's the
easiest network software I know. (I've installed and tried them all.) It lists
for $89.00 per machine and works with any Novell NE2000 compatable card.
We're ready for NT when the fine folk at Adesk put out version 5 of 3ds. At
that tiinexpensive way to upgrade when the time comes.
