One of my computers is not rendering and I don't know why. Here it is in the Monitor, it is the one listed as a IP address even though it should be saying the name of the computer "Farm-1". It also doesn't show the OS.



It is recognized in the Maxwell Manager as such:

[01/February/2015 16:53:51] Render Node added to list:
[01/February/2015 16:53:51] Name: 183.121.5.1
[01/February/2015 16:53:51] Address: 183.121.5.1
[01/February/2015 16:54:17] Connection with render node enabled.

But when I render, nothing happens with it:



After it gets sent to Farm-1, nothing happens. Here is the text from the Manager:

For some reason the Render Node on the computer in question keeps locking up and I get the blue spinning wheel. The status of the program is "(Not Responding)". I tried wiping and re-installing maxwell render on this computer, but I get the same behavior.

I have to force close it each time I start the node.

Could it be a firewall issue on that computer? Antivirus?

thanks Bubbaloo, the problem seems to have resolved itself on this computer. Not sure why now, maybe it was the firewall, but it's off now

Cool. Glad to hear it.
