Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. So I have spent all day today getting Hqueue Server up and running on my home network. I was successful after about 8 - 9 hours of configuration changing over and over diagnosing difderent errors everytime I thought it was going to work this time. Either way it works now. My problem is on updating info from server, or restarting client service, or rebooting the hqnode.ini sharedNetwork.mount resets back to \\localhost\hq

As well no matter how hard I try to changeor add a network shared folder through the web browser it always reverts back to normal the second I click save. Is there any way for me to get my settings to stay so I do not have to gp through this for every render?

Ok I solved this problem myself. So others know using the Launcher ruined my entire installation. It removed the SideFX Labs from Houdini, Its installation of Hqueue Server was uneditable. Once I fully uninstalled launcher reinstalled houdini and hqueue server from the Old Installer exe file I could add Network Folders, my setting in hqnode saved upon restarting the client and rebooting. Everythinc fucntions like it should. The installer is a Houdini Artists worst nightmare. It fights you and makes you completing your work harder. Houdini should scrap it entirely and stop causing so many users across the net auch a headache.
