Backburner 2015 : Error Sending on UDP

[jtwographics]

Hello, I recently had an issue where Backburner spontaneously stopped rendering.  I am running Max 2015 with the most recent service packs, and Vray 3.0

Everything has been going just fine, and I had 3-4 render jobs in the queue.  All of a sudden machines woud no longer render.

The first was my primary workstation.  I would shut down server to continue working and when I restarted at the end of the day, it would not connect.  Machines that were connected and rendering would continue.  Then all of the jobs finished and I shut them down.  Now none of them connect.  They all display the same error message.

Error sending on UDP to 192.xxx.x.xx: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used (0x273f)

I have found information that is is related to IPv6, and to disable the 6TO4 adapter.  Only my main workstation had the 6TO4 adapater, and after disabling it, I get the same error message.

I wouldn't disable the 6to4 adapter, rather I would use the "prefer IPv4" fixit from Microsoft which can be found here ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2533454 ).

As usual this would need to be applied to all machines in the farm.

Tell me if that works

Ben,

That worked like a charm.  Thank you very much.

I followed the instructions an copied this to the Administrator CMD Line one all machines but it didn't solve it.

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters" /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d  0x20 /f

This was supposed to disable ip6 in favour of ip4. which I think it did.
