Cant connect to local repository

I am setting up a new repository for a local deadline network of 3 PCs. (For AE Renders).
I installed the repository to a shared local drive in this PC. When I launch a worker on the PC I get an error saying it cant connect to the repository. Eventhough it is a local drive. Not even a network drive!
Eventhough I have shared the drive over the network.
I get the error both when using ‘W:/_Deadline’ and when using ‘//NOEMIS-WORKSTAT/W/_Deadline’.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s the log;

The Monitor was unable to connect to the specified Repository (W:/_DEADLINE).

This is your issue. Is the database running? Is it reachable?

Hello

Seems like the installation does not go right. Can you share the installation log? The installation log lives here: Database and Repository Installation (Advanced) — Deadline 10.3.0.13 documentation there may be more than one because you have installed Repo and Client both. So, send over all you have got there.
