Ted,

Thanks for the reply. I can ping the address, but I'm still getting the same message (see below). What does it mean:

"Xlib: connection to "24.128.204.204:0.0" refused by server"

Does that mean that my XDarwin installation won't allow connections to it from outside? How do I change this if so?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

We've had a problem with one of the new 2x1.0Ghz G4s where it refuses to
communicate with one other Mac (an 867 G4) on the LAN. znApple has been
jerking us around for over a week on this -- their help desk is populated by
idiots. They blame the switch ("oh, you have to disable the spanning tree"
-- which no unmanaged switch uses), the other machines, anything to avoid
digging into the problem. They were very unhappy when I conjoined the
machines with a crossover cable and still had trouble.

To isolate the problem, try to ping and ftp to/from the other machine. File
sharing needs to be on (stop it, and restart to be sure everything on the
mac is current). And,ftp (file sharing panel) needs to be enabled.

I've just installed Xfree86 4.2 with the minimum components on my mac
OSX 10.1.4 system. All seemed to go well, and it does work. However, I
can't open a connection to another machine - or more precisely, I can't
open a connection to my mac from another machine.

I'm getting the following:


cers00 (grad/jhorn) 101 > xterm -d 24.128.204.204:0.0
Xlib: connection to "24.128.204.204:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: 24.128.204.204:0.0
cers00 (grad/jhorn) 102 >


NOTES:
1) 24.128.204.204 is my mac
2) XDarwin was running
3) this command was typed on the other machine (of course)

This command has always worked with other X server apps (Tennon's
Xtools) running on my Mac. Can anyone help? Do I need to somehow give
permission to open connections? What's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Jason
