TO check firewall

Apple->System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Firewall

My primary question with AFP is when you are connecting -what account are you using to login to the remote server – the local admin?

In the old compressor it was quite evident how to reset the services. In the new one I have no clue. You can try the command line: qmasterprefs -reset

I have no way of testing this as I do not have a system with only Compressor 4 installed.

I swear I’m not just trying everything in the book but:

Are you connecting to the AFP share with an account that has write access?

I am assuming the firewall is off.

Have you tried resetting compressor/qmaster on the systems?

Try the other thing I posted about console
Also – are the clocks in sync?

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

Also – look in console when you get the error (the same one should appear in the console app). Let me know if you see any other errors around it (maybe ones that are more recognizable).

Did you try adding one computer at a time?

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

I know – I posted in it – did you try my suggestion?

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

Try to add one computer at a time – see if one of those spits out errors. Also, I might try a restart on all of the clients and a qmaster reset. let me know how you make out.

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

Also tell me if there is a Qmaster in system preferences.

[Ian Liuzzi-fedun]

Uncheck allow use of unmanaged services and check that each client needs to be managed. This should allow you to add them to the cluster. Also, I would, to start off with, put a file in that share location and render from and to that location. If that works then you can try a file from a local volume and cross your fingers that it gets copied correctly.
