Please let me know how this should be done.
You need X server on your local machine. In case where remote machine: linux local machine : linux 1)Start X. 2)Start a shell 3)Type 'xhost +<remote machine name/ip> 4)Telnet/ssh into remote machine. 5)Type 'export DISPLAY=<local machine name/ip>:0.0 6)Type 'netscape &' 7)Enjoy..;-) remote machine: linux local machine : windows. 1)Install an X server like exceed/hummingbird/reflection. 2)Follow step 4 onwards as above. Basically X is one implementation of network GUI and this is how you use it. Another is VNC, which H.S. Rai has already suggested. Both have their own pros/cons..
