Hi,
Just set up a render farm at home, everything is running smoothly so far but for some reason preview mode will not launch on a cooperative job.
Can someone outline the proper steps to get a preview in Network Monitor while running a cooperative job??

thanks!

It may take some time for the preview to appear, since it has to gather all MXI files from all nodes (transfer them through your network to the computer running the Manager), then use mximerge.exe to merge them, then send the result to Monitor.

Check the Manager logs for any clues.
Try a very simple and small rez scene and see if that works.

You're clicking the Magnifying glass icon in Monitor to request a preview right? Do you actually have the preview display open in the UI? You can check from the "Window" menu at the top in the Monitor UI.
