[Req] Network rendering as in 0.9 as Option

[bkircher]

Is it much trouble to keep the 0.9 networking in the 1.0x ?

Seems like a simpler, less ports using variant. The current situation would force me, for one, to all kinds of administrative trouble, as far as I see.

(Please correct me if i don't see something, but 7776 seems blocked as a port for me).

I'm not against the new version, I would like to have the old one as a backup.

The networking functionality in 1.0x is pretty much a superset of the 0.9x functionality. You can just use -h target_hostname on the slave if you dob't want to use the UDP autodiscovery stuff.

Thanks for the reply.

For some reason, I couldn't start my old batch-files except the one adressing port 7777 (please see attached screenshot).

(I could go to a different computer and start a master from there with port 7777, so everything worked out fine in the end.)



P.S.: I understand that network-administration is not your idea of a jolly time. So if you come to the conclusion that error has to do with the network at the place I work, my apologies.
