When I did a test render using network render, the first one worked, having my PC Win Xp Home being the master, and my PowerMac being my slave. I didn't change any settings, just turned it on and it worked. Now im getting error messages that the PC cant connect to my Mac, even though the PC can see the Mac on the network. I know that they are on the same network because i can see them in my network and vice versa with the mac. I can still share files between both PC and Mac. I did a simple test render between my iBook and my Powermac, so I know that the software works there. Any ideas? Thanks.
