RE: Running remote X apps

I do what you are talking about; I usually type:
xhost my.ip.address

Notice, I don't type a '+' in front of my ip address; this may be the root
of your problem.

Subject: Running remote X apps


Hello!

I have the X server running on my local NT machine.  I must say I
haven't been this excited since I had an X server running on my OS/2
workstation...  ;)

Now, on to the next step.  I have a Linux box that I want to use to run
remote X apps.  On the NT workstation I tried to use the xhost command:

D:\WIN32\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>xhost +204.238.175.35
xhost:  unable to open display ""

As you can see, I get an error.  Am I doing something correct, or am I
just jumping the gun on this?

Thank you very much for your help.  It will be nice to have an X server
running on my NT workstation:  I won't have to switch over to the Linux
box to get to the X apps I occasionally need...
