Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up a linux box as my desktop machine.
I've got X up and running, am about to do the kde install, but have a
question regarding "remote" X windows.
I have the situation where I have to connect to a remote, it's still in
my office but X will be running across the network, Sun server so that I
can run a CAD system. In the past I've done this from Windows using
telnet and an X emulator, exporting the DISPLAY variable etc, but now I
want to be able to do this from the linux box. I've tried what I've done
under Windows in the past but the Sun machine can't find my X server,
even though I'm in a graphical X window when I type the commands to
initiate the remote X session.
My question is, is there anything "special" that I have to do so that
the linux X server is listening to "the outside world" so that the Sun
box can create the connection and get X displaying on my linux box? It
wouldn't surprise me if I've got something wrong, it's midnight and I've
already had way too much chocolate, but I thought I would post this
question before I go to bed in the hope that someone might have an insight.
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated,
Andrew Lowe
