telnet does know nothing about the xserver. Use ssh instead. xterm -e ssh -Y <sun-host> & This will connect using the secure ssh protocol and tunnel all X11 traffic thought the ssh connection. If this does not work check the FAQ entries about ssh connections http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
