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?

Thanks


Dennis
