Title: Change DR IP
Post by: zules on 2021-02-18, 16:00:10

Hello !
i'm using DR on my workstation, but DRserver keep using my wifi dongle IP instead of the LAN port that has the correct IP (and a differnt sub network), so Max can't find the node anymore... Any way to avoid this ? to change the Drserver option to a specific IP ?

Here is the DR log (I want to use the 192.168.5.100) :

2021-02-18 15:16:33   DR server started

2021-02-18 15:16:33   Corona Distributed Rendering Server is running in UAC elevated mode ("Run as Administrator"). This can cause problems with missing textures during rendering. New builds of DR server (including this one) no longer require running as admin, so you should launch the application again without elevation. See https://corona-renderer.com/link/2011 for more details.

DrServer is obviously bound to both addresses. So you should be able to use 192.168.5.100 directly in Render Setup -> System -> Distributed rendering -> IP/Hostname.


Good Luck

Hey thanks !
Well that's what I do, and the main computer still "see" the node in green in the VFB, but the render never starts... That's why I though it's linked...

So the master actually finds the slave?

- Did it ever work? :) (Teapot scene)
- What status do you see in the DR tab of the VFB?
- Check the last lines in <maxdirectory>/network/max.log on the slave
- What's in the log of DrServer after starting a dr render?
- Do you have a Corona license activated on the slave?
- Do you run the same Max versions on master and slave(s)?


Good Luck

Ok, so I just deactivate my wifi and all went back, just a small trick.
Thanks all !
