Hi, i use a d200 and have linked my sb-600 as a remote to my sb-800, which is on camera. when i am shooting a series of images, the sb-600 will at random stop giving the 'fired properly' beep; it still fires, but no beep follows and all the images from there on out are completely black and underexposed. The only thing I do that makes it come back is shutting everything off for a few minutes, then turning back on...I have checked the sensors and line of sight, no problems there -- this is happening at completely random times, when all ready lights are on and nothing has been repositioned or settings changed...please help!!!!
thanks!!
Series of images is the KEY. If the Power you set the SB-600 is HIGH it will take a LONGER time to recycle than the SB-800. If you try to take a photo before the SB-600 is ready you will get a dark image. The randomness you get is due to the time between shots. In general try to run remote flashes at a lower power so they recycle faster.
I like the SB-800 because it can take 5 cells. 5 cells can really make a difference in the recycle time (faster) The SB-600 only takes 4 cells so it is slower.

make sure your white balance is set to "flash" on both cameras

Hi Frank, I use the same combination of the exact three flashguns you have. Works beautifully. I mount the sb-800 on my camera and set it to Master Mode (press and hold the center button till the menu comes up, select the master). Set the other two sb600s as slave. Please make sure the channel is set the same in all three flashes... when positioning the slave flashes, make sure that sensors on the remote will recieve the light from the main flash. For maximum coverage I use the sb-800 with a diffuser in bounce mode. You will be amazed at the quality of interior phots you can get with a 3 flash combo.

It maybe because it overheated he flash tube, nikon flash guns use a thermal cutout, to prevent overheating, usually after approximately 30 / 40 shots, in quick succession. It should start working again after it cools down.
If not you may need to get it checked at Nikon Service Centre.
Cheers
Ian

Looks like the condenser is not charging. Oscillator section, transformer, transistor has to be checked.
