Net render can't see manager

Hi,

I've been freelancing for a company, and I've been trying to get backburner 
set up  for a 3D Guy there, just for batch rendering on that PC to start 
with.

It's a Max network licence rather than standalone.

The problem is the manager and server register with each other, but when I 
try to net render it just reports that it can't find a manager. The monitor 
programme can't see the manager either.

I've installed BB3.02, but it hasn't fixed it.

I wouldn't have thought it would be a firewall problem as it would have 
reported something when the manager/server are acknowledging each other (or so I

would think), but they just appear to do what they normally do.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

Are you relying on the Automatic search facility or are you typing in the 
Manager's IP address when you submit the job (or try to connect with 
Monitor)?

My setup only works if I specify the IP of the manager; only has to be done 

once though.

Hi,

I think it was the automatic search, although it was a week or so ago, and 
I'm not on site.

I'll give that a try next time I'm over there.

Cheers,

Steve
