I am trying to run remote clients on an X server using telnet, but am encountering an error. My setup is as follows:
- runnning X server on Cygwin_NT-5.1 on a windows XP Professional laptop. I initiate this by running the default "startxwin.bat" from the directory "C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin"; - in the bash shell that opens I enter "xhost +" to disable access control; - I then telnet from my laptop to an HP-UX 11.0 server at IP 158.234.197.198, and login as root; - I run "export DISPLAY=158.234.197.171:0.0" (the IP of my laptop); - I run an application requiring an X window: "sam", which raises the following error: XIO: fatal IO error 232 (Connection reset by peer) on X server "158.234.197.171:0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. - I get the same error if I try to run "xterm" or "xclock"; - As far as I know there is no port blocking between my laptop and ther server. A trace route displays: D:\>tracert 158.234.197.198 Tracing route to 158.234.197.198 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 158.234.197.198 Trace complete. - with the X server running, I am able to run local X window applications, e.g. "xterm" or "xclock"; Any suggestions?
