hey there,
we´re moving from on site office to remote office only and I have a few issues figuring out how to make this work.
We´re going to use locally network mapped drives with the same drive letter on all remote office workstations as well as on our large office QNAP NAS and then sync them all via a cloud storage provider.
We´re going to have workstations+rendernodes at each remote office and some rendernodes attached in a lokal network where the QNAP NAS stands.
All rendernodes and workstations are behind NAT routers, so we´re going to give each of them a separate DynDNS.
Using portforwarding In the office router I could set up so I can now control the workstation in the office running the Deadline Connection Server/MongoDB.
But for all other rendernodes I am at a loss on how to:
A) power them on and off
B) Start workers as needed.
I found a tutorial on how to set up portforwarding for several PCs behind a NAT, using differen external and lokal port combinations:
Unfortunately our router doesn´t allow that (it keeps telling me a port is already in use, if I´m trying to forward the same external port to a different lokal port on another machine.).
I´ve tried adding the specific machines DynDNS in its worker properties, as well as changing the default por (5054) to something else, and then forwarding that port in the Router to that machine.
But I still cannot remote control it.
I just tried to ping the second workstation from a remote location via the DynDNS specified in the Worker properties and the ping timed out.
Pinging it via the same network from the first workstation withthe DynDNS hostname worked though.
Any Pointers would be greatly appreciated!
