resides in the taskbar tray. To reopen the window when minimized, click
its icon in the taskbar tray.
NOTE If you're running Windows 2000 and have the NetBEUI protocol
installed, and you have unplugged your network cable, when you start the
manager, you'll see an error message, "Error starting network subsystem,
cannot start manager." If this happens, reconnect the network cable and try
again.
2 Alternatively, you can run the Manager as a service, as described in
“Setting Up Backburner Manager as a Windows Service” in the Autodesk
Backburner Installation Guide. Once set up, the Manager automatically starts
when you boot the system and it's always available.
To start the Server program:
1 Run the Server program from the Start menu > Programs > Autodesk >
Backburner folder.
The first time you run the Server after installation or after deleting the
backburner.xml file, the Server Properties dialog appears. By default,
Automatic Search is turned on, and the subnet mask is set to
255.255.255.0. This should work with most networks. Alternatively, turn
off Automatic Search and enter the manager name or its IP address in
the Manager Name or IP Address field.
Thereafter, when you start the Server, its window appears and the "Starting
Backburner Server" message is displayed in the log window. After a few
seconds you should also see the "Registration to (manager IP address)
accepted" message in the Server window. This message indicates that the
server has found the manager and is correctly communicating with it. If
you do not see the "Registration to ..." message in the Server window, see
“Troubleshooting Backburner” in the Autodesk Backburner User’s Guide.
The machine is now running as a rendering Server in Desktop mode. You
can leave this window open to see other messages as they appear, or you
can minimize it to the taskbar tray. To reopen the window when
minimized, click its icon in the taskbar tray.
2 Alternatively, you can run the Server as a service, as described in
Network
Rendering Server
on page 7862 . Just running the Manager as a service, once
it's installed and started, it's always available, even after rebooting.
