Hello,
I use Vue 6 Infinite, and would like to network render with 3 computers.
First of all, it is a wireless D-link network, with firewall disabled, all running PC-cillin.
With rendercow installed.
In the hypervue dialogue, I see the other computers as disconnected. I can only render on my 'home' computer.
I have tried entering both the remote computers name, and Ip adress.
Any suggestions?

Ok, first question. On what build are you? I would recommend to update to the leatest - which is 289182.
Then, have you installed the cows with the default pathes and settings? This is a god idea too.
Then, are all cows and the host application on the same port number? When I remember it right, in HyperVue you have to set it to the cow standard 5002 yourself - but i could be wrong. BUT, check it.
I would really recommend to use the ip addresses as identification for the other computers. On Mac nothing else works anyway.

Make sure the computer names for the network do not have spaces in them. I could not get network rendering to work until I renamed one computer without the space in it.

I have just tried all of that.
Could it be the WIRELESS network?
Or that the computers are running different versions of PC-cillin? (2005,2006)

Wireless should not be a problem. I always turn off any virus protection software when rendering. It hogs memory and causes a lot of problems.
