This may well be some X11 thing, I'll leave that to those who know
more. I have however experienced some wierdness particularly with
certain MM software where the program refuses to display on remote
machines that are not listed in a licensed client list file somewhere.
Your SGI may be ok, anything else not. These problems were usually
stated when the connection failed though, so I'm not very sure of
this. The remote host Admin. would have to check.
for everyone's benefit, Thomas R. Treadway III pointed me to the
solution:
Opening ports 6000-6063 on my ibook's firewall did the trick. As did
'xhost +' and setenv DISPLAY to my IP address:0.0 on the remote host.
And, yes, I am looking into alternatives to xhost +.
Many thanx to Tom and to everyone else who thought about this!
