I suppose that there is an X app for Win2K somewhere?
You need to be running an X server on your Windows machine and no, Win2k does not come with one. There are some commercial X servers for Windows, but I can't really remember which are good and which aren't... it's been a while since I looked (probably over a year). When I last did, there were no free X servers for Windows. What you probably need is to setup VNC... I know that you can get Windows showing up on your Linux box this way, but not sure about vice versa (I think it will work... I remember turning on and off the wife's xmms when I played with it before, but whether I was on the Windows machine or my Linux machine I don't recall). FYI (and this is more for others reading as I don't think this matters much to you in particular), I just got an X server running on MacOS/X... now all I need is to find an ssh client for MacOS/X and I can run xchat on it by tunneling it from my Linux box (wOOp!). -- MandrakeSoft Security, OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 9 days 11 hours 43 minutes.
