Hi there,
I have a 2 pc set up(work/personal). I'm trying to connect my personal machine as a render node with no success. Both Blenders are 3.3 and CRs are 4.3. I've logged in and both PCs are seeing each other in the Render Node list.
When I go to connect the sync fails every time. Both PCs are connected to the same ethernet switch as well.
I've attached the CR zip log.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Hi Drew, ok, I can see you're on windows there, and that you upgraded to Blender 3.3 after previously being on an older version of Blender. There's a good chance this is firewall related, so let's rule that out next.
Windows, for some reason, will not prompt you again to allow a new installation of Blender to receive incoming traffic (this needs to happen so we can connect your computers together over your network).
So, it's likely that, although there is a rule in your firewall for blender, that the rule is for the previous version of Blender that worked, and Blender 3.3, because it is on a different path, is blocked.
I did an instagram reel showing how to quickly add a new rule which you can watch using this link -> https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiQ_6ehjz6K/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Try adding a new rule for Blender 3.3 to receive TCP traffic, restart your computer and try again?
