Title: Render farming using a different LAN?
Post by: Jpjapers on 2017-11-27, 17:20:44

Im wondering if anyone can help me.
How can i use my renderfarm at work, from my home pc when my home pc obviously isnt part of the same LAN?
I Have full access to all of the LAN and server settings if i need to change anything.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
J

One idea is using some kind of remote desktop, e.g. Teamviewer to access your work PC(s) from your home.
Another solution would be using VPN such as Hamachi to set up a virtual LAN. But remember that file transfer times may be horrible if you don't have fast internet connection. There were already topics about such stuff on the forum.

I never figured out how to get hamachi working as corona didnt seem to pick up the other computers on the network despite hamachi saying it was connected. Maybe teamviewer is the easiest option.

remote desktop is definitely the way to go. The windows client works pretty well, I use it most of the time.
