Network rendering. Change IP Address.

[Acrom]

Hi,

I have 2 IP in my slave machine (wireless and ethernet connections). My master computer only can see the IP wireless of my node render.

With Octane 3.08, i created a BAT file with: octane_slave --net-master-port 21000 --net-master-address 192.168.100.xxx to force to change the IP in the list of IP address of mastar computer.

But with 4.00 RC3, not work. It appears "Invalid image type: 67372048 and i dont get to see the IP of the ethernet of the slave computer on master. Obviously, the wireless connection is very slow and i am not interested in that connection.

How can i change the IP Address from wireless to ethernet connection on slave computer?

I am working with Standalone 4.00 RC3.

Thank you very much.

Hi Acrom,
I'm not skilled about network, did you try, closing Octane and daemon, to disconnect ethernet cable from router, turn off wifi on your slave and then reconnect ethernet cable to router?

Sorry for bringing up the same topic but i'm constantly having this same issue.

The slave always connects the master via my wifi connection (I have to keep the wifi for auth) It takes a lot of random restarts, daemon installs to fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
you could use an ethernet switch to connect both Master, Slave and router to the same subnet.
In this way you don’t need double IP and wifi active for authentication.

Hi Beppe;

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using single cat6 cable between two computers and no router. I'll try it if i can get my hands on a gbit router soon.

Still it would be nice to be able to force the ip adress that the slave broadcasts or at least know how the slave chooses the network, how it prioritizes.
