Ok from my local host I can ssh into a host on network A with 'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and it works, I tested by running xeyes. It automagically sets the DISPLAY to 'localhost:10.0' (it actually shows the word localhost).
Now when I try the same thing on a host on network B with 'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]' it fails with: Error: Can't open display I checked the value of DISPLAY (echo $DISPLAY) after I ssh in and this time it is set to nothing. So I tried setting display to my local IP on various combinations and they all fail with "Error: Can't open display ip:10.0", "Error: Can't open display ip:0.0" etc.. So what is going on? Both hosts running Open SSH, I even disabled the firewall on the host on network B and then I tried locally "xhost +network-b-host-ip" to explicitly allow it and still no luck. I didn't have to bother with any of this for it to with network A's host. The X11 forwarding worked fine on host A (a school host) yet fails on host B (my VPX box). Any clue how I can fix this and why it works on network A's host but not on B's? Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
