Hmmm, it appears to be read only, but would it need to write anyway?

Well, that just gives me more information to work with.
Since the screen clears that means it is making contact with the satellite
machine, and is probably not a network error. It is trying to run the
raysatxsi4_0.bat file on the satellite machine. And is getting an Access Denied
.
What are the security settings on the XSI_4.0 directory (On the satellite
machine)? Is it open to everybody, or is it restricted?

OK, thanks.
Screen clears, then the message... bad?

How does the error appear when you telnet? Like this?
U:\>telnet localhost 7009
Connecting To localhost...Could not open a connection to host on port
7009 :
Access Denied
Or does the screen clear before you get the access denied message?

OK, I got the syntax now, but I'm getting an access denied. Like I
said, could it be a win2k -> XP thing? I VNC'd into the render nodes and their
Telnet service is disabled. I tried enabling and starting one anyway, but
still the same 'Access Denied' response from telnet.
On a side note - would it be possible to setup a rayhosts manager
inside NetView? Like an on/off switch, or a load of checkboxes for different
machines... Although I guess you'd still have to restart XSI to see the changes
... hmmmm.....

You shouldn't have to change the Satellite Service. It should run
fine as the local System.
As for telneting to the satellite port how are you doing it? The
format mentioned by Dan is incorrect.
telnet <hostname> <port number> is the way it is done.
<hostname>:<port number> is for the .ray3host file, not telnet from
the command prompt.
When telneting to a machine that has the satellite service running,
you should connect, but you shouldn't get a response back.

OK - just did some testing, and found that the satellite services
were not running - they need to have login setups, using the same login as
your XSI ()runnable and working) installations are - you can set this up using
the services manager under control panels - administrative tools!
Make sense???

Cheers for the help Sandy,
OK the way I have our system setup is this:
2 Workstations Win2k XSI4 Adv.
10 Renderboxes WinXP - Waiting for their lics, but I'm assuming
the satellite tokens are taken from the Adv. lics. so for this test they don't
need their own lics.
All machines share one setenv.bat file on the server to make
administration a little easier for certain things (Moving the license server
for example). In this Setenv.bat the .ray3hosts location is set to c:
\Softimage and any other instances of ray*hosts files on all machines have been
removed. In fact I think my machine is the only one with a .ray3hosts file out
of all of them. In the .ray3hosts file I've declared all the slaves as IP
adresses (to be safe) followed by :7007 the default port for satellite
rendering. Now. When I type Telnet 192.0.0.42:7007 (correct syntax for a port
? it doesn't throw any errors..) for example I get:
Could not open a connection to host on port 23 : Connect failed
I think this might be some kind of Win2k -> WinXP telnet issue,
mind. The machines can definately see each other...
Anyways, still no sooooper fast distributed fun and games.... :(

Well as long as your 'other' machines can run XSI i.e. get
licenses, then setup a rayhost file WITH port numbers - these you can get from
your services file, or write them down when you install XSI on each machine -
once you have done this, try and telnet into each machine using these port
numbers - if telnet gives you errors, then you have the wrong port number, if
it just dissapears, as with me - then bingo, you are onto a good start! Run
XSI and start a render with verbose on, you should see the other machines
returning percentage renders!!!

Anyone here got their satellite rendering working? I'm not a
total newbie to this, and I managed to get distributed rendering working in
earlier versions, but I'm having no luck today....
Anything I should be aware of before I delve deeper?
As we have no standalone MR lics it's hard to diagnose
without being able to run ray3 -v to check the status of the slaves.... I
noticed the Raysat.exe executable but after sifting through the -h output there
appears to be no diagnostic switches to try... -v just returns MentalRay
copyright info.... :-/
Thanks,
DAN

rendering debugging?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone here got their satellite
rendering working? I'm not a total newbie to this, and
I
managed to get distributed rendering working in earlier
versions, but I'm having no luck today....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anything I should be aware of
before I delve deeper?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As we have no standalone MR lics
it's hard to diagnose without being able to run ray3 -v to
check the status of the slaves.... I noticed the Raysat.exe
executable but after sifting through the -h output
there appears to be no diagnostic switches to try... -v
just returns MentalRay copyright info.... :-/</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
