I have seen some posts about this, I am having the same problem, haven't found any solutions on the board.
Everything with shared folders, running the same version, mapped drives, etc checks out. Yes, I can ping the computers.
I put 30 minutes of DV footage on the timeline, add some effects and titles, and do a distributed render. Both computers are running the program, both show the project as "Status: Starting", the project never renders, nothing else ever happens.
If I try and close the program on either computer the program freezes and eventually I have to manually end the task.
Running XP on both computers, using Vegas 5.0b on both.
