We found that our production folks were literally stepping on eachother's toes as they tried to use 4 machines, and anticipated the problem only getting worse with 6. The way we are networked, we can actually run all six from one machine, that is not a problem(the hubs that network the AMAYAS to the PC's are in turn connected to our LAN - so the two PC's are basically networked to one another, as well as to our main server). The problem is the LAN network. We can't connect to our main server (where all of our design files are stored) UNLESS the PC's are connected through the LAN. And,as long as the PC's are connected through the LAN, each PC sees all 6 machines, and can use all six machines at different times. BUT, PC-A can't use the amaya OS downloaded on its hard drive to run only 1-3 while PC-B uses amaya OS downloaded on it's hard drive to run only 4-6 at the same time. Each instace of AMAYA OS sees 6 machines and wants to configure all 6. We want OS on PC-A to only configure for 1-3, while OS on PC-B configures for 4-6 only. I hope I explained my problem a little better that time! thanks! Cathy. We need our two production team members to work at independant PC's connected to 3 AMAYAS, AND be able to download from the same Network server. Maybe that explains it better. thanks! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
