Hi!
Here's the situation. I've installed X-Win32 on a Windows XP Pro computer. It is connected to the internet through first a hub, then a cable modem.
The goal is to connect to a Unix server. So, I did the following configuration on X-Win32
larkspur.mines.edu
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -n larkspur/$USER -display $DISPLAY &
Display is set to the IP address of the computer, display 0. In fact, every setting is default except that I turned off the splash screen.
When I try to connect, I get the following error:
Error: Can't open display: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0 (it doesn't actually display the xxx's, I'm just doing that to protect the computer - you probably knew that, but just in case)
So, I figured I could remote login with telnet, and just have X-Win32 running in the background. So, I connected to larkspur through telnet, but when I use an xterm command such as xemacs, nothing happens - for some reason, X-Win32 isn't picking up the signal and opening up a window.
The Windows firewall is disabled. ZoneAlarm has been configured to let X-Win32 both connect and host, and telnet to connect (I tried allowing it to host, and it didn't make a difference). I checked for viruses just in case with Norton, and it's clean.
I have done this exact configuration on multiple other computers, but for some reason it won't work on this one.
Anybody have any ideas? I've been bashing my head against this one for about three hours now and I'm drawing a blank.
Thanks a lot!
Drew
