- Why don't you take the easy way ? There's a RenderManager.app in
- /NextDeveloper/Demos. Use as follows:
-
- - login at the host you want to make a render host
- - start up RenderManager, a list with all currently known servers appears
- - 'localhost' should be selected, now click on 'Configure' button
- - click on 'Public' in Configure Server panel
- - click on 'Where' if you want to change the NetInfo domain to be served
- (warning: bug in that selection panel, cancel doesn't work, choose right one)
- - change 'Note' field if desired
-
- In short: it's straight forward, similar to printer management
