was testing distributed rendering for the first time today, not sure if its working:

The slaves keep rendering 2nd pass, is that normal?
In the dialog it also says "Replying to discovery ping from Master_pc"

Also one more question, when it finished rendering 50 passes (my set limit), it didn't stop, instead there is a message:

"Collection any extra data from slaves. Press cancel to discard the rest."  and the slaves were still rendering... is there a way to stop all rendering automatically? in case I am away and just want to set to render for 1 hour, I don't them to render for all day when I am away from home..

Okay, so DR does work, with 4 slaves it takes 40 minutes and on one machine it takes over 2 hours to do 50 passes!

But I still don't know why the slaves show "Rendering 2nd pass" all the time... is that typical?
