View Full Version : NetRender client can't find server, others do

Odd.

Just hours before I left for LA earlier this week my router went belly up. I had set up a Net Render job to run while I was away, and without a functioning router, couldn't. So I left the main machine rendering locally. But it didn't finish. So I'm back, and replaced the router.

Everything is fine except one of three machines cannot find the server with NR, but the other two can. I didn't change anything, and the server got its usual IP. The machine that isn't linking up with NR can get to the Internet and is listed in the servers client table, like always (same brand router). I've re-booted the machine, restarted NR client, still can't find server, while the other two just picked up where they left off and are rendering away.

Any ideas?

on the client machine that isnt working change the server ip to something else (random) and close and restart the client app. Then change the ip to the correct ip of the server, it worked for me couple times.

Thank you. I actually tried that last night after posting this Q, but the result was the same after, it couldn't find the server. But what the heck, I'll try it again.
