    Can connect from PC to MAC but not Mac to PC

    in Getting started

    I can run crowdrender on my PC and render from my Macbook (using macbook as the render slave) and connect to my mac no problem.


    When running Blender on my Macbook, I can't see my PC nor can I connect manually. This is a problem since I want to work on my laptop and render with my PC. Any advice?

    Same here; Win to Mac as Slave works, Mac to Win(as slave) not working; cloud rendering panel helps so that they find each other, still connection is not working

    Hi David, any details you could provide would really help :) Such as;


    1. All Versions of blender + crowdrender you're running on both machines

    2. Any error messages?, there are logs capture on both machines in the user\cr\logging folder

    3. Are you running a firewall on the windows machine, if so does it allow blender to listen on any TCP ports?

    4. If you know how, would be handy to check if the windows machine is running any other processes that are listening or connected to TCP ports in the range 9000-9025, if there are, or you suspect there might be, you can try moving crowdrender to a different port range by going to blender > preferences > addons > crowdrender > expand the addon and go to the 'networking' section and then select a new port number for the 'start port'. I'd recommend trying 9669 for this value.

    Regarding 2, if you want to send us logs, please upload them with a support ticket at https://www.crowd-render.com/report-a-problem :)
