[Max] I need help! / Re: Network problems on Corona scene
« on: 2024-04-04, 14:27:08 »
I can recommend some general troubleshooting steps that might help.
1. Disable any antivirus software you are using on all PCs (including Windows Defender and Firewall) temporarily to check if the issue is related to this software. You can then turn it back on if it doesn't solve the problem.
2. Add custom inbound/outbound rules in Windows Firewall to allow the necessary network traffic for Corona and 3ds Max. Refer to the guide https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528128298257-Creating-custom-inbound-and-outbound-rules-for-the-DR-Server-application
3. Disable IPv6 on your network adapters. Follow the instructions in the provided link (https://medium.com/@JockDaRock/disabling-ipv6-on-network-adapter-windows-10-5fad010bca75) to disable IPv6 on your Windows 10 machines.
4. Make sure you have network discovery enabled - https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/turn-on-or-off-network-discovery-in-windows-10.html
5. Check if you are using the latest version of 3ds Max and Corona which is 3ds Max 2024.2 and Corona 11 HF 1 at present.
6. Check the Windows Services list and ensure that "Function Discovery Provider Host" and "Function Discovery Resource Publication" are started and set to automatic start. Steps are as follows:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type "services.msc" and press Enter to open the Services window.
Scroll down and locate the "Function Discovery Provider Host" service.
Double-click on the service to open its properties.
In the "Startup type" dropdown menu, select "Automatic" if it's not already set to that.
If the service is not running, click on the "Start" button to start it.
Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
Repeat steps 3-7 for the "Function Discovery Resource Publication" service.
