Troubleshooting.........Part 2

Sooo, just when i was ready to render my final scene i had to do a couple of test renders to make sure everything was ready, i was doing this and i was feeling good about what was being produced.
But then all of a sudden an hour before i was ready to start the main render Vray caused me many problems. The problem i faced was that when it came to around 5-6ish in the after noon Vray would suddenly stop working, every time i would render past this time a major error would come up saying that a certain image location file has lost connection with the administrator.
This really messed me up in terms not allowing me to render at all, and because this was so close to when i wanted render and also knowing that the deadline was two weeks away this dropped my confidence in this project. After speaking to there students about this problem, this situation has come up before. it seems like towards the evening Vray just didn't want to work. it was the same problem every time and something to do with the image error, after doing some research and looking at forums to do with the situation and what seems to be the problem is that when the file location for the render image being saved has lost connection to its server. because whoever is the administrator, when they log off, the file location is no longer there. so this wasn't good for me, because what i wanted to do for the render was to leave it over the weekend to get it done, but due to this problem i had to do something different to get this piece rendered.
The only situation i could think of at the time was to change the renderer and render over the weekend on my laptop. This did mean changing all of the materials in the scene and then aplying all the materials back on to everything. This would be a very long task but it was the only situation i could do within the time i had.
