Hey Chris,

I got it to work finally last night. My G4 is connected by Ethernet and my G5, where i have C4D server running is connected by Airport. It worked great with the two machines and it was a good idea to have the other computer connected by ethernet. Nice to have it all set up and running.

Thanks for your input.

Well, i have a G5 and a G4 machine. The G5 is using airport wireless. The G4 is hooked up with an ethernet cord. It’s interesting that you mentioned the speed of the network render and how ethernet vs. wireless affects it. I hadn’t thought about that. Anyways, i was able to last night at least get the C4D Server and Client Apps on my G5 to talk to eachother through the ip address i found in sys prefs. Now the question is – how do i get the client app to work on my G4. And will there be any issues with one computer being on wireless and the other being ethernet? I do have both computers receiving the same internet signal through the same wireless router. One just needs a cord to get internet (the G4 since it has no airport card).

your thoughts?

Hey Nolan,

Thanks for that link. I read over all the posts and got the background object to preview. I also figured out how to scale the move to reside in the top left corner of my editor view. Just scale the material to 10% in both X and Y. Gets it out of the way if you have stuff going on in the middle. I checked out Paul Everett’s 10comm tools. Does anyone have this plugin? Does it work flawlessly? Couldn’t find the Xpresso thing by marinj. Where is it? I’d love to try it out.

Thanks,
