Yes, very simple setup. I actually will be using a PC as my server, so thats where i was thinking of putting the extra NIC cards into.

Now of course when two users are on at the same time it will bog down, but by having a separate ethernet cable running into each mac computer from the server, fix that problem?

hey bob, so while researching the metal software. I came across this site:

https://www.midstreamonline.com/midstreamonline/html/ttech-meta.html

under the metalan tab it listed this feature :

Virtualization for Avid® Enables sharing of media files among multiple users of Avid® software on Windows platforms for efficient workgroup collaboration…..

is that something totally different then the limitation you mentioned above with avid? or has metalan finally addressed the reasons why sharing avid over multiple machines wouldn’t work?

oh okay… thats not as bad as i thought… now if i have the avid unity software, do you know if that can take the place of the metalan?
