I am trying to run remote clients on an X server using telnet, but am
encountering an error. My setup is as follows:
- runnning X server on Cygwin_NT-5.1 on a windows XP Professional
laptop. I initiate this by running the default "startxwin.bat" from the
directory "C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin";
- in the bash shell that opens I enter "xhost +" to disable access
control;
- I then telnet from my laptop to an HP-UX 11.0 server at IP
158.234.197.198, and login as root;
- I run "export DISPLAY=158.234.197.171:0.0" (the IP of my laptop);
- I run an application requiring an X window: "sam", which raises the
following error:
XIO: fatal IO error 232 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
"158.234.197.171:0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
- I get the same error if I try to run "xterm" or "xclock";
- As far as I know there is no port blocking between my laptop and
ther server. A trace route displays:
D:\>tracert 158.234.197.198
Tracing route to 158.234.197.198 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 158.234.197.198
Trace complete.
- with the X server running, I am able to run local X window
applications, e.g. "xterm" or "xclock";
Any suggestions?
Simon.

is your XP firewall on?
If you login to the HP-UX box as a non-root user, does the same error occur?
