DR adding nonexistent nodes during rendering?

[Monkeybrother]

I'm rendering using DR and have "search LAN during render" checked and Corona keeps finding nodes that doesn't exist. I'm rendering right now and I'm up to 46 render nodes (49 now), when my farm only has 5 licenses. None of the nodes (real or not) return any passes. Is this a bug?

edit: Corona 1.4

are there duplicate IPs in the list?

BTW: we will release updated DR in Corona 1.6

Hm. I turned off "search during render" and now I'm only getting "FAILED" on my nodes. This is the max log:

What does "Error creating bitmap" mean? I don't know why V-Ray is loading.

I found a solution on the forums: Preference Settings --> Files ---> Save File Properties needs to be checked.
