Has anyone been able to get X forwarding to work through a Wireless
Linksys DSL/Cable Router. I can't get it to bring up an Xterm across
my local net.
My laptop is 192.168.1.3 and my desktop is 192.168.1.2
I issue 'xhost +' on my laptop.
I 'ssh -X' to my desktop
At this point any attempt to start an xtermp complains about the DISPLAY.
I 'setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.3'
and now everything hangs.
