DR not working

[sasho90]

I want to render with the distributed bucket rendering function on but with no luck. I add the other PC in the network by name and check "use default port". Then I start the renderer which freezes for 10-20 seconds and then renders alone.:confused: I tried to add the other PC by IP address with the same result. No error message pops up too. The PC that I render from is quad core Q6600 with 4gb RAM. Max 2008 with MR is installed on the second PC too. Any ideas? :(

Find the port number and use that, I find the default doesn't work, well doesn't for me.
You should find it here
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services
open the services file with not pad, scroll to the bottom and you should see "mi-raysat_3dsMax2009_32 7554/tcp"
Your port number is at the end

Also check your firewall exception list

Tried Bullseye's suggestion but even then it still doesn't work.

Where can I enable the message window from? I read in a forum that it's in the rendering tab but can't find it.

EDIT: I got it to work. I had to turn off the default Windows firewall (or add an exception for the MR port).
