It's still blocking for network rendering.

This is the right settings, right?

well, I never tried this, but I can't help but notice that you have different master network ports assigned.
also it might be a good idea to check your firewall settings (on both machines), making sure both ports (48000 and 1029) are granted access.

If I uncheck the one that is connected, the other one will immediately connect. So it's not a firewall problem. And the reason for 2 master ports (new feature in 2.10) was that they collided before on the same port. Don't know what's wrong now.

Yes, the setting is correct. Although you can now have multiple masters connecting to a daemon at the same time, you can't use it for rendering by multiple masters at the same time. That's because you can't really run multiple CUDA kernels at the same time on one GPU.

I'm not trying to render. I'm trying to get Poser to disable network rendering as it is "stealing" the network connecting for the Standalone setting every time I start Poser. Same problem as before ( http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=41618 ).

In your screenshots, it was enabled in the Standalone and not enabled in Poser. That's what you want isn't it? If you want it the other way around, just disable the daemon in the Standalone and it should become available in Poser so you can enable it there.

Yes! That was exactly what I wanted. But that is not what is happening.
If I open Poser now the network rendering is enabled automatically. Even if I turn it off in Poser it will still be on when restarting Poser. That means when I export to Standalone I CAN NOT use network rendering in Standalone while Poser network rendering is still on. And there is no way I can _permanently_ turn it off in Poser! That's the problem. I have to manually go in the preferences to turn it off - then back to Standalone to turn it on many many many times a day when I open/close the programs.

The screenshot was made when I opened Octane Standalone first - and then Poser. In that order.
