This is my first post in this forum. I have a problem with X11 forwarding that has plagued me for months now. I have a desktop PC acting as a server. It runs OpenSSH. At work I have a laptop running Windows XP, Exceed X Server, and PuTTy. I can SSH to my home LAN very easily and display X applications remotely via Exceed.
Here's the problem. I can not do the same if I connect to my cygwin server from within my LAN. All X11 apps just terminate with Error opening display. Both the laptop and the cygwin server have firewalls turned off. If I VPN to work from home with my laptop, then SSH back home to my cygwin server, then I _can_ display X11 apps, but not if I SSH direct within the LAN. My router is a D-Link Extreme N. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/X11-forwarding-within-LAN-vs-remote-tp27977014p27977014.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
