Hi,

I have two computers running on a network comprising of a workstation (my normal everyday computer) and a Render computer. Both machines run Windows 7 64 bit and have 12 gigs of DDR3 Ram.

I have installed RenderCows on each computer and have launched them in admin mode successfully. However, there is an issue:

I was watching Hypervue network status box while rendering. It seems that my renderbox machine was doing all the work while my workstation was sitting idle and never engaged in the render process. Why does that happen? Obviously, I want to be able to utilize both system to expedite the render process.

It just seems like the render command completely bypasses my main workstation and heads to the renderbox everytime. I have no idea why it doesn't kick in so both machines are rendering.

In summary, I guess bottom line is this... if we see both machines in the Hypervue Network manager, why would only one machine do all the work?

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your time.
