I'm trying to use 2 Mac computers apart from the main one (also a Mac) for network rendering. So far, no success... In the render room preferences, it lists3 ports. Port 1, Port 2, Port 3. "Note that port 1 needs to be changed on all rendering nodes." Ok! Does that mean to match it in the application pref, of each rendernode, or the opposite? I tried both and it didn't work, Firewalls are off and the information reaches the other computer because I can see the activity in the router and the render node app. starts up but dies down after a few minutes without rendering anything. I render through the network all the time with Electric Image 5.5 all the time without any problem so I feel the problem is not my network but some setting I'm not getting here Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks
