Re: slave//render current pass "host 1 died"

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Checked it with two different slave/rendernodes
and the ray3_5_7_23 service set to another port.
(but the windowsfirewall doesnÂt even _ask or block).

Whatever, itÂs scenespecific, not a general problem.

Seems I have the filetexture distribution/sharing method
set wrong or some stray links to changed/unavailable
network/usb devices. (Scene from a removable
backup disk...with several times change of paths).

The above seems to be no problem for
satellite rendering as long as the host box
finds the files on start-up (inside the project)
but distributed rendering seems to be a bit
pickier with ..//paths and project links.

Oh well, I wanted to clean up that hurried
mess anyway.

At least everything works now and got tested :-)

Cheers

tim
