A private tech support session? Doubt people will gift you that kind of time and help.
Follow this: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501666-how-to-use-distributed-rendering-

If you do everything step by step and it still does not work, say where it fails in the steps exactly and someone will suggest solutions.
Also this forum is for help, so keep all solutions on the forum, so people with similar problems can reference this thread. "Outsourcing" info to Facebook help only you, which defeats the purpose of a help forum ;]

Facebook is not a good mean of communication, really. Please submit a support ticket and describe your problems with as much details as possible: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

We ha a similar report recently and the paths were not really set to the network drive. So instead of //PC/location... it would show up as C:/textures... The solution was to manually redirect all the assets to the network location. You can use this built-in 3ds max utility for this: http://www.timsportfolio.co.uk/tutorials/3dsmaxpathedit/
So you will need to select all and press "strip path" and then "set path" and point to the network location. It should be a very quick process.

You didn't give much info to go by.
 I hate jumping to suggestions without making a baseline of what's already established. Set pathing everything in the asset tracker only to find out it had been a disabled DNS service is kinda painful. That's why my mentality is to ask if you have done this and where it failed.
No hard feelings :]

Holy moly that's awesome, I copy pasted many many Texture paths, when I forgot to set them to networked once.
Never came across this for some reason, the.

Never came across this for some reason,

You can do this even in the standard asset tracker (Shift+T by default).

Good Luck

But I think the reason why I found it was that it didn't work in the asset tracker. :)

Maybe, I can“t tell :) The local paths should have appeared here however.

Btw: the tracker is quite useless without a

ATSOps.CheckNetworkPaths=true

in some startup script which makes it checking network paths.

Good Luck!
