network render issue
hello ladies and gentlemen,
i’m sorry to be bothering you with my network render problem again.
but i can’t figure it out.
only the client renders.
in both network render service screens, under ‘renderers’ only the ‘other’ pc shows up.
they are both called ‘host’any advice would be very welcome.

lets go back a few steps ..
just to be sure –
each computer should have it’s own name ..
you network also needs a name …
make sure the DNS suffix name is the same on each computer..
when you have NRS running on BOTH computers – from your main computer you should see the NAME of the 2nd computer under renderers … from the 2nd computer you should see the name of the main computer.. status should be READY …try to get the HOST to render …do a simple 20 sec avi.render …
do NOT use distribute rendering so only the host will render ..
you are assigning the render job to only the host ( computer you are on) ..for this test you do NOT need to start NRS on the 2nd computer..once you get that working …
next assign a rendering job from HOST computer to the 2nd computer = only the 2nd computer will do the rendering ( do not use distribute rendering) .. there will be a pull down menu to select which computer to assign the rendering job ..
once each computer can render a job by itself .. then go for the distribute rendering ..
if you have problems .. NRS log should tell you something ..
post the log … and also tell us a little about your network ?
as in just 2 computers with cross over R45 cable ? networked thru switch? is there a router somewhere ? -
