thanks all for help. i can change my whole setup. what i have now is the best that i could think of. basically the problem is that my laptop's wireless card is not supported yet and i run a VMWare virtual machine under my windows and openbsd runs from a physical disk partition on this virtual machine. so openbsd connects to windows through these virtual ethernet connections installed with the VMWare player. this way openbsd can use internet.
but since VM window is too small, i want to run openbsd applications on windows desktop, so i am using cygwin X. this response suggests that i can use ssh to connect to openbsd. could you give me more pointers? is there a better setup that i can use? what a mess it is with all these mutiple OS running on the same machine... ;-) konstantin 2006/6/8, Stuart Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On 2006/06/08 22:16, Joachim Schipper wrote: > > > is there a way to automatically retrieve the ip address of the windows > > > machine and set up DISPLAY variable in the login script on openbsd > machine? > > > also, how to handle ip renewals? > > If this is for programs started from an ssh session to the > OpenBSD box from the windows box, just use X forwarding.
