Hi all, As the title states, I'm planning to build my own renderfarm with a termserver and wake on lan. This looked like the right place to ask if what I want is possible and if so, what it would take: This is the ideal situation I would like: I'd like my network to include my workstation...

At first an important request: Please read my problem carefully. The solution is not as easy at it seems to be at the first glance! Since WinXP I have a problem when I want to re-assign a file extension to another application (=the program which should be used when double clicking on a certain...
