Hi,
we have been using deadline for sometime without issues, but recently one of the slaves is shown as ‘Timed Out’ (Ping) in the monitor.
As we were using Deadline for region and tiles rendering we now have the issue that this slave cannot save back the tiles to the main machine.
Meanwhile I tried reinstall, checking all issues with folder permissions, firewall settings, but I don’t get what is the difference between the machines. The settings on the slaves which fails seem to be in correspondence with the one on the working ones.
