I am trying to run x11 on an iMac (500MHz PPC G3, 10.2.3) which is

have
trouble running a client on another machine and having it display on
the iMac x11server. I've run xhost + or xhost remotehostname on the
iMac, then on the remote (HPUX) machine shell window done a
setenv DISPLAY imac-hostname:0.0 (in csh). However, when I try to
launch any client program on the HPUX shell which I've set DISPLAY
to the mac, it waits several minutes and quits out with the following:
Error: Can't open display: imac-hostname:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Joe
This is probably a DNS problem. Try setting the display to the ip
address.
eg: setenv DISPLAY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0
On the hp box, be sure you can ping the address. You can avoid using the
ip address by adding 'imac-hostname' to dns or in the HP's /etc/hosts.
