Remote client through telnet gives error 232

[Simon Keen]

I am trying to run remote clients on an X server using telnet, but am 
encountering an error. My setup is as follows:

 - runnning X server on Cygwin_NT-5.1 on a windows XP Professional
laptop. I initiate this by running the default startxwin.bat from the
directory C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;

 - in the bash shell that opens I enter xhost + to disable access
control;

 - I then telnet from my laptop to an HP-UX 11.0 server at IP
158.234.197.198, and login as root;

 - I run export DISPLAY=158.234.197.171:0.0 (the IP of my laptop);

 - I run an application requiring an X window: sam, which raises the
following error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 232 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
158.234.197.171:0.0
  after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.


 - I get the same error if I try to run xterm or xclock;

 - As far as I know there is no port blocking between my laptop and
ther server. A trace route displays:

D:\tracert 158.234.197.198

Tracing route to 158.234.197.198 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1 1 ms1 ms1 ms  158.234.197.198

Trace complete.

 - with the X server running, I am able to run local X window
applications, e.g. xterm or xclock;

Any suggestions?

Simon.

Opening CDE Through Telnet

[Simon Keen]

I'm using cygwin/x on Windows 2000 to access an HP-UX server. I wish to
use the CDE, which I currently achieve with the following:

 - run startxwin.bat from Windows explorer;

 - xhost HP hostname
 - telnet HP hostname
 - DISPLAY=win hostname:0.0
 - export DISPLAY
 - /usr/dt/bin/dtsession

This promptly pops up the CDE, but I feel it is a little clunky.

I am using this roundabout way as I am going through a firewall and
have access only for Telnet (port 23). Is it possible to access the
HP-UX server in a way that direclty pops-up the CDE with its logon box?
(incidently, I can do this when I'm on the other side of the firewall
using xwin -query HP hostname, but this hangs from my current
location).

Thanks,

Simon.
