Don't install PoserPro on the 'slave' machines, they only need Queue Manager. The assets required to produce the render are fed to the remote PCs by the copy of QM on your master PC - so for large complex scenes this can take a while.

Note that single frame renders don't get carved up and shared around, though you can configure QM on your master PC to send your renders to the slaves (Queue > deactivate 'Process Jobs Locally' and activate 'Send Jobs to Network'. On the remote PCs make sure that 'Accept jobs from Network' is active).

You should install the version of QM that corresponds to your version of PoserPro. If you've recently upgraded to SR3, you need to completely uninstall the previous version of QM from your remote PCs, and - to be on the safe side - delete the application's folder too, before installing the most recent version. And don't forget that the serial number for QM on remote machines is not the same as your main PoserPro SN.

Before you do all of that, make sure your PCs can all see each other on your network and resolve any problems with that first - mainly so you don't blame Poser or Queue Manager if things don't work.

 

EDIT: wow, it took me forever to type all that - I see others have pointed you in the right direction.
