I can set up the network renering and get a final merged result but I have a couple of issues.

The first is that when a render job is complete, the servers all show MXI_DISTRIBUTION_WAITING and won't accept new jobs without me having to stop and start the servers and managers.

Secondly, how can I tell what SL my servers have reached - the network tab displays "0" until the job is finished.

Finally, when I hit Render from the Cinema4D plug in, an application called "1.1" is launched and begins the render as expected. How though do I launch this program directly from the desktop without needing to open Cinema first?

Thanks

I agree all these, and experimented all. The sampling level is not being update in the monitor and we just know by the time we open in the monitor the mxi result to merge it.
Some errors aldo apear at the time of runing the manager...

To open mxcl directly, open a command line prompt and type mxcl -d

-d is for Display and that will display the mxcl viewer. There you can load your mxs, set paths etc and start rendering.
