I have read the manual, Google searched, forum searched, no más!
In the Render Manager, or when I want to open a 'Comp,' I see the entry for 'Network' but clicking on it does nothing. I have three(3) computers in my home studio, the Render Manager can see all of them. I have a 'mapped' drive local to the Master Station, which all of the computers can see, in a File Manager, and I have VNC on each station which can open up a View on any other station. I can move files back an forth all of the time, but Fusion 9 refuses to recognize that there is a Network. It shouldn't be this difficult, and if it is, then there should be documentation to walk me thru it?? I have looked. Apparently everybody else is fine?? I am on Windows 10 Pro, always updated, and other applications (Lightwave 2018.0.3) have no problem rendering over the network, as long as I refer to the location as \\graphics1\e\common\.... The 'mapped' location is "M:" and some other programs see M:, tho Lightwave prefers the \\graphics1 designation, for rendering tasks. None of these work for Fusion. It is as if the button is not connected?? Sometimes all three have the Version noted, not sure when or why so far.

Checking in again. Here is a Screen Capture of the Render Manager. Note that all three(3) stations are in the group, graphics1=Idle, as no job assigned. Graphics2, correct IPAddress, says Offline, and on that station it says, "No License" and gives the IPAddress of 192.168.56.1. Finally graphics3 just says it is "Idle" but shows the correct IPAdress in the Fusion Render Status. No idea what to do. At no time will the "Network" button even work. Scanning for Slaves finds everybody???
