I've got network rendering on multiple machines at home. My fastest machine is set up as the host, plus 2 slower clients. It was pretty seamless to set up, and generally has worked well - with two caveats. First, if you are network rendering with slower clients keep in mind that your rendering will be limited by your slowest machine. For example, a piece of an image I was working on took 15 minutes on the fast host. A similar piece would have taken 8 hours on the slow machine. Now, I had all the ray-tracing options turned up, so the slow machine, a plain old Pentium was crippled by the effort. So, plan for your slowest machine. Second, twice I have had the host loose track of the net render in mid render and start sending pieces of the default Bryce scene load midway through. This has only happened in the middle of the night so I do not know why its happened. There ya go. :-) TomD
