Okay, this is I HOPE a simple enough question. I have a virtual server running on my Win10 Host (not my ideal O/S!) that has a full X environment on it. I usually connect via Putty(ssh) using VirtualBox's Host Only network. That's great for text, but how do I set things up so that I can run X programs on the virtual box and have them show on my Win host? I have an implimentation of X for Windows (Xming)running, and I set putty to forward X connections, but when I try something as silly as xeyes, it fails. I've notice that the DISPLAY environment isn't being set, but setting it myself doesn't seem to help. The Virtual Server's IP is 192.168.56.25 and the Host automatically gets .1, so I tried setting DISPLAY=129.168.56.1:0 and it doesn't work. I get a message "No protocol specified" followed by the error "Error: Can't open display: 192.168.56.1:0.0"
Putty is set to forward X connections, and uses the same destination. What am I doing wrong? -- Dan Egli On my Test server
