Re: [expert] Telneting to the server

Hi,   So I install the Linux specific X Server on Linux and the windows specific viewer on my win client. Is that correct?   Cheers Sridhar   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Wilson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 03, 1999 1:27 AM Subject: RE: [expert] Telneting to the server Do we possibly mean an X client, not a server?  The X server already resides on the Linux Box, how else does your X-windows run on your Linux box without it.  I think what you need is a client on the Window's box that can connect to the Linux box's X-server.   I know with the VNC package there are two parts, the VNC client which resides on the recieving machine and the VNC server which handles the connection of the VNC client to the X server.  The VNC server gets installed on the same box as the X-windows server.   Ken Wilson First Law of Optimization: The speed of a nonworking program is irrelevant (Steve Heller, 'Efficient C/C++ Programming')   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Frederic PLE Sent: Thursday, September 02, 1999 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Telneting to the server Hi! You're right, you have to install an X server on your windows box (you can find free or sharewares on the web). Then, just telnet on the linux server and run your application like this : appli -display <IP-Address-of-the-windows-machine>:0 & Fred   Sridhar G wrote: Hi, I would like to telnet to my linux server and execute X WIndow apps on my windows client.
