Frosty Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Is there anyway to use DR without static IPs on the slaves? I'm using C4D but I'm hoping there is an answer in the larger vray community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDonald Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 you should be able to do it via machine name, that's what I do in V-Ray for Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks Matt. I've tried this with every combination of machine name I can think of. "machinename", "machinename.subnet", "machinename.subnet.local". Nothing seems to work. Now I'm wondering if its a short fall of the newest Vray C4D.

Matt McDonald Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 from a dos prompt can you ping the machines by machine name? Is this a home/home office network or a big corporate network? Small networks can at times have trouble with local DNS and big ones can at time not allow certain types of traffic across subnets (which you mention).

Frosty Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Office network. My IT guy has been helpful and offering suggestions as he REALLY doesn't want to set workstations to static IP. And I agree with him. My fear is this is a Vray for C4D issue and not likely to be resolved anytime soon. As great as DR seems to be, there also seems to be a great many shortcomings with it. I may just push to get C4D R15 that has built in DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
