Monika, See the user's guide (linked off xfree86.cygwin.com), section on displaying remote clients using telnet or ssh. -JT

I think I am making some mistake, but do not know what. you can start the xhost from the local bash prompt too. $ DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 xhost remote_ip or you add the remote ip address to /etc/X0.hosts. This will add the host to the list of allowed hosts too. The display variable is always hostname:display.0 in most cases display is 0 and you'll end up with hostname:0.0 bye ago NP: Terminal Choice - Castles in the sky [radioedit] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Cannot display remote program on local machine.
Hi, I have installed the entire cgywin package along with XFREE86. I want to use it have the display of a remote program running on my local m/c. After installing, I executed startwin.bat and the XServer started. I think I need to start Xterm as well to set the xhost, however, I do not know how I should do this. After I connect to the remote server using ssh through bash, I export the display using export DISPLAY=ip_localmachine. However, this does not give me the display of the remote program. What is it that I am suppose to do and I am not doing. I think I am making some mistake, but do not know what. Any help well appreciated.
