Render farm problem

[Francois Plourde]

After using the render farm on a second computer last week (with success) it seems that it dosesn't work today. It's been activated, path  as been selected but  it won't show on the farm monitor. I've restarted the computer, uninstalled  and reintalled the software with no luck.

Anyone as a guess?

Has the render farmer program been started on the second computer?  Check the icon tray to see if it's there.

Roy,

The farmer is started and active on the second computer, path as been set (directing on the first computer directory). But when I open the farmer monitor on the second computer it shows the first computer node  but not the second computer node. And the weirdest is that the farmer on the first computer is not active!!!  The farmer monitor on the first computer doesn't show either nodes.

This sort of thing usually happens when the two farmers are pointing to different paths.  Start both farmers and check the shared folder.  You should see two .nXtMachine files-- each one should have the computer name -- for example MyComputer1.nXtMachine and MyComputer2.nXtMachine.

Finally found the bug. It seems I had a staturated disk + I also deleted old farm directories. It's one or the other, but now it's running fine.

Thanks for the help
