Okay, I understand the server versus client application now. I will have to scrounge around a little and see if I can find a few more inexspensive machines based on what you stated. Switch will stay for now. I do not have any dual core processors, just single cpu's with hyperthreading. Right now the 3 workstations are setup like below. 3 machines x 2 processor's x hyperthread(x2) = 12 rendering processes. That is what Vue see's when it renders, hopefully Bryce does also. No need for two IP's. Thanks again for the help. Vince
