Hello World! I've been trying to print the image of a rib file from the 3D demo application included in 3.0. This is a standalone NeXTstation Color. It tells me it can't connect to localhost. My machine has a hostname of sapphire. So... I look in the netinfo database and sapphire doesn't appear but localhost and broadcasthost are there (as expected). So, I experimented by changing the local render entry to look for sapphire instead of localhost. Still no good. When I upgraded to 3.0, I booted from the 3.0 CD and had it do a complete upgrade rather than use the update application. I've looked at the online application notes, but if you have a standalone machine there is no entry in the netinfo database that corresponds to the hostname as it states. It would appear to me that you need to create a network to get this to work, but that can't be right. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
