ok first off lets cover the basics. 2 machines, running XP Pro. Both have Poser Pro Base and Queue Manager installed. Machine 1 (Cerberus, Master) is running Poser Pro. Machine 2 (Delenn) is running the Queue.

Networking for the machines is setup and working correctly. (I can share files no problems and able to use Input Director to let me use 1 mouse / Keyboard from Cerb to control Delenn).

so to be clear on the last - networking between the machines is NOT a problem. each are working just fine there.

both running Comodo firewall with ports 4418 and 11523 (*edit seems it wants 11527 and 11528 as well)  open.

now to the problem I start a job on Cerb and only Cerb is rendering the job. Delenn just sits there showing : "Discovery query from 192.168.1.101 (port 4418) 1 Procs availible'  and thats it.. no rendering taking place. Now I know Delenn is talking to Cerberus.. Cerberus is 192.168.1.101 you see... so...

Queue Manager on Cerberus just shows 'Waiting' - it is set to send jobs to the network and accept them. Render Locally is off at this time to allow for testing.

Queue Manager on Delenn is set to accept from the network.

ok.. so any ideas? networks working.. the machines are talkin'... Render Queues see each other... but nada on the rendering...
