#Networking
3 messages in this thread
Help,
We currently have two machines networked with the intention of adding
more. We use a Pentium 90 as the server (As far as 3D studio is
concerned anyway) and a DX4 100 as a slave. We are able to boot the
DX4 remotely and is is configured to map the required drives to the
server & then Start up 3D Studio in Slave mode. Some times this
seems to work OK, however we do keep getting a problem with the slave
machine. When it starts 3D Studio it stops with a requester box which
states that there is another machine on the Network with the same I.D
number when there isn`t. This is a real problem due to the fact that
the machine is physically located some distance from the main working
area, and some one has to go and cancel the requester.
I have looked in the manuals & cannot find a mention of this problem.
Could someone leave me a message with an explanation & possible fix ?
Hi Ya Chris..
<< Could someone leave me a message with an explanation & possible fix ? >>
Sure.. This is covered in detail in the Advanced Users Guide under Network
Rendering. There are many issues of concern in that section that is well worth
your time to read. In addition, you should download the following file….
