I have managed to configure my router and firewalls to allow me to ssh into my office PC from outside the office. I get a nice terminal window that allows me to do most of the command line things you'd expect. Unfortunately I also need to be able to run X Windows to access certain things that require a GUI.
So far I have not been able to figure out how to do that on a M$ box. I can run PUTTY and get in just fine but I have not been able to figure out how to run X. And yes I did enable X11 Forwarding inside of PUTTY. But I seem to still be missing something. When I try running startx I get message of "User not authorized" which doesn't make sense. even xterm gives me message of Can't open display. I've tried resetting the DISPLAY variable but then the cursor just sits blinking at me. Would someone please help point me in the right direction?
