3ds max 8 backburner 3.02

[GD77]

hello:

am using backbuner 3dsmax on net rendering for 8 pcs and found that all the jobs assigned to the rendering que halt every certain time, then recontinue by starting from where they 've stoped, duno the reason, does not seems to be a net problem or anything so far, thanks in advanced.

 

just downloaded backburner 3.02 removed the old one on some pcs and reinstalled it form 5 pcs 2 of them i get this eror message after receiving job from the main manager and launching 3dsmax:

 

"general exception handled tcp thread. connection terminated."

 

so far even can t find solutions nor on autodesk web or google.

if someone knows a solution for this i ll be thankfull

Are all your pc's running XP? A good start would be to make sure each pc is set up in the same way as the others, (same opperating systems where possible, latest service packs, identical network settings, etc).

Also make sure that Max is updated with SP3 on each pc, and that you are running the latest version of backburner on all of them.

Another thing worth checking is firewall settings - make sure your firewalls are set to allow communication between the backburner server and manager. Alternatively you can just disable them if this is feasable.

I can't give you a specific answer to your problem, but i run a render network with about 20 pc's, and most of the problems that come up are caused by unusual settings on individual pc's.

Try narrowing down the problem by rendering with just one other pc, and slowly add the others until you identify the problem computers.
