Network render serial not Parallel

Hello all.
Some where I changed a setting. When I network render I see 8 cubes from my main machine then I see 8 cubes from my network machine.
I though I caused this by turning on motion blur and it was calc inbetween frames, but I turned that off as well as skylight.
Any Ideas what would cause Carrara to not use all cores at the same time? The way it is now I don't see a time advantage of using two machines.
Also I'm using 8.5 but I've done most of my work in 8.1. I can't seem to find a 8.1 render node does it exist?
Thanks
Brad
