| I want to connect from my iMac G5 to a Solaris box running an X11 application I need to use. I loaded X11, fink and other apps on the iMac. When I load X11 I get an xterm window where I type: xhost + to give access to the Solaris device. Then I telnet to it and once logged in I type: export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 where xxx is the IP address I retrieved from the server. Then I type the name of the application. Nothing happens.
I followed the directions in the O'Reilly's book about Unix, but I may have missed something. Can you help me get started?
I connect to the Solaris box via the Cisco VPN and on the iMac, I have the firewall turned ON. I'm using Tiger.1 Best regards,
Jean M. ('Jay') Feuillet 954-294-5771
