OTOY Forums

So, I'm using the same versions of Octane (both standalone and plugin) as well as same versions of Cinema 4d. I'm trying to setup Octane network rendering, and it works fine if I turn off the Windows Firewall completely. If I turn on Windows firewall, it doesn't. I tried to allow port 48000 (default port) in Windows Firewall by going to Advanced Settings > New Rule > Port, but after that I still didn't see my slave listed.

My question is:

What apps, ports etc. need to be allowed in Windows Firewall for this to work?

Thanks.

Hi,
have you tried to enable daemon and Standalone in the "Allow programs to communicate through Windows Firewall" window? ciao beppe

Thanks for the reply. I checked and I do have exceptions in place for all of Octane's apps. This is driving me nuts.

Do you also have exceptions for the C4D application? When running as a plugin Octane uses the exceptions applied to the host application.
