We want to connect to a manager over the internet, so we have to specify the IP address where the manager resides. I read some threads and they told me to specify the IP in the network tab in the options. But there is no such entry. where can i specify the IP address for the manager ?

I can successfully connect to a local manager, but thats not what we want.

Version 1.5.1.0 on OSX 10.4, C4D plugin

Thanks for any help

I guess you found this information in very old posts. Once it was available and later we decided to make the manager detection automatic for setting it up easier. Due to demand, we added this feature again and with the next update you will have chance to define manager IP.

ok, i have a problem with that missing...

I'm a teacher and we bought and use 50 maxwell licenses here...

students work by small groups (4-5 people each group), and they want to render in coop network their work.

i'm used to set one port per group in backburner to have each group working on a specific job...

I can't find anywhere the possibility to tell maxwell that server, this one and those 3 ones are for this specific manager...

how can i do that ?

please, Tom, help me, i'm getting crazy !

You cannot do that at the moment, until next update. Because currently there's no such feature in what you have.

ok, so can you tell us an aprox. release date ?

we need that quite fast here...

in the mid time, maybe we could send coop render by hand : a command line on each PC maybe... with different ID, seed or whatever that can make them render the same mxs but differently to be merged by hand ??

Yes, in the command line, add -idcpu#
