Hello everyone, happy Thanksgiving.... I was reading up on interesting topics and noticed something that I wanted to try, which is X tunneling/forwarding over a secure connection using ssh and putty on Windows.
I've used Putty a number of times with cuccess to run my linux computer remotely. As I type I'm at my mother's house on a Windows machine with a new Putty installed, and I found a low cost X server (Mi/X) free for 15 day trial. I have the X server up and running but I can't get the program running on my host Linux pc to display at the remote location. I realize that it has to do with setting the DISPLAY variable - should it be set to my IP address? Or is the tunneling using another "display" of my remote i.e. 198.144.206.157:1? I tried a number of things and I get "cannot open display" after a few seconds or even minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
