newbe question - network rendering

When I start Maxwell Network Manager and Maxwell Monitor on my desktop and Network Manager and Render Node on my laptop, the only computer showing in the Monitor is the Render Node, and not the standalone version. Propably I'm overlooking something, but how do I get the standalone version working in the Network Monitor?
Thanks
Joris

too many managers to few render servers
on desktop have to start - manager and render server
on laptop have to start - render server

zdeno is right. For each computer you want to use for rendering, you need to start a Maxwell Render Node. Only one computer will run the Manager and Monitor.

Alright! I didn't find the Render Server, but starting another render node worked fine, thanks!
