Failed to initialize network render service...

I get this error message whenever I try to run the Newtwork Render Service. The rest of the message is:

"The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resloved for

The application must exit.

I am running XP Home on a P4 with 2Gb RAM.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

Could it be that Home is refusing the data for whatever reason? Shouldn't, but we dont' use Home for anything here, so I can't try to repro. Home is definitely network-challenged in comparison to Pro.
Are the DNS addresses showing up correctly in the host? You are signed into the client machine? Are you using Distributive or Non-Distributive rendering?

Thanks for your suggestins Spot but I can't answer any of those questions. the application doesn't load at all. I just tried to run it on my notebook which runs XP Pro and I get exactly the same error message as the app starts to load. I have it installed on another machine running Win 2K Pro and it loads fine. I wonder if it is a permissions question? But I am logged on as Administrator with full rights.

Give this a try (pasted from the the Network Rendering section of
Vegas' help file):

If you receive an error message that indicates the Network Render
Service cannot start when you start the application, you may need to
resolve DNS suffixes on your computer.

Open a DOS window:

a. From the Start menu, choose Run to display the Run dialog.

b. In the Open box, type CMD.

c. Click OK. A DOS window is displayed.

Type ipconfig at the command prompt.

Your Windows IP Configuration information is displayed. Note the
Connection-specific DNS suffix setting.

Update your computer's DNS suffix:

a. Right-click My Computer on your desktop and choose Properties from
the shortcut menu (or press the Windows key + Pause) to open the
System Properties dialog.

b. Select the Computer Name tab.

c. Click the Change button to display the Computer Name Changes dialog.

d. Click the More button to display the DNS Suffix and NetBIOS
Computer Name dialog.

e. In the Primary DNS suffix of this computer box, type the DNS suffix
you recorded in step 2.

Click OK to close all dialogs and restart your computer.

Help File eh? Well that's a novel idea! You'd think that after 20 years of professional work in computers I would have thought of that one. Sorry.

Thanks, it worked of course!

Help File? I should keep that in mind ;-)
