I am running Novell netware lite between two pentiums, and I want to use them for network rendering. I have tried to do this but 3D-Studio does not see the slave computer. Can I network render with Lite or do I need a more advanced version ? Any help would be really appreciated, Chris Averill

" 3D-Studio does not see the slave computer. Can I network render with Lite or do I need a more advanced version ?" You should be able to do this, if one computer can see drives on the other. 3D Studio should see whatever DOS can see, so that if your slave machine has a directory in common with the Master machine, you should be set. Can you tell us a little more – and have you checked the library on Technical docs here for network rendering? If not, that will be helpful.

Chris, Download 3DSNET.TXT and pay close attention to the parts where it talks about setting up drive mappings on a peer to peer network. -Brian
