quick question re network rendering


David Lemelin

Recommended Posts

Yesterday evening I booted up my PC to add it as a render node, I had to update the IP address of my license server (Mac, dynamic addresses... sheesh). Once done though, I could not get the PC to appear in my list of renderers in the network manager. It was appearing fine before and I since rebooted the whole shebang and still no ping on the network.

 

What confuses me is that the PC sees the license on the Mac. But the mac (even with the FireWall off) doesn't see the PC. What am I missing?

 

I'm also getting an annoying message when attempting to preview an ongoing rendering... "Error receiving the preview data: the remote host has closed the connection." This is between my 2 Macs that have been rendering together for a year or more.... now, I can't check renderings in progress. What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Hi David,

 

We just handle the formZ plugin here... for network render issues,the place to get help would be the Maxwell Render Suite forum: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/

Alternately, you could submit a help ticket after logging onto the Maxwell Customer portal: https://portal.nextlimit.com

 

There is a network troubleshooting page you might want to check first:
