I've tried the below. It's stranger than that. If I drop to a VC, and try "X -query <remotehost> -once :1"
It fails with the error that it cannot open display. (nothing to be exported on that one.). There's no firewall running. It has to be an X permissions thing. It's just not allowing remote hosts to use the display. I just can't find it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 1:37 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [expert] X Access Problem On Thu, 6 Jun 2002, Tibbetts, Ric wrote: > Ok, this one is probably really obvious.

Looks like X is turned off for remote A few things that you might check: Is there a firewall running on either of the machines? If so, either allow the ports (IIRC, 6000) or if possible, disable the firewalling temporarily. Is name resolution working correctly between both machines? I.e., either have the entries in the hosts files or setup DNS. On a similar note, try disabling access control completely on the local machine with: xhost + then try running the app again. If it works, lock everything out with: xhost - then specifically allow the remote host. Are you exporting to the correct display? You might also try using an SSH session instead, since this may get around any blocked ports.
