Get yourself a router and lan cards and cables for each computer. Create new shares on each computer to set your network up, then find a Netrender plug for Maya. Dirk Balliach (sp?) has one at his site. Anorther one to check out is Muster from Virtual Vertex. You can d/l and use it between two computers as is, but need to register it for any more. I wanted to try the Net Render plug from Dirk Balliach but wasn't networked at the time so I couldn't test it. You have to have Maya installed on each computer as well so this is where a floating license is better than a node-locked license. Good luck
