NET Render over an Airport network

[Stu Pond]

Er, I just did, but turning the firewalls off on both Macs.

Now, how can I use NET render and keep my Firewall on?

[Björn Marl]

You have to allow the ports used by Net Renderer in the firewall. The defaults on Mac are 8080 for the server and 1080 for the client.

You are better off splitting the file. Take File “A” set the out put for say, frames 0-300, SAVE. reset output to 301-600 and save it as file “A2” copy it to the other machine and allow each machine crunch the file. G networks are too slow for NetRender. N Networks probably are too slow as well.

Thanks for the suggestions – I think I’ll probably just render one file on this machine, one on that etc as I have a nasty deadline looming.

Cheers.
