That is a good point.
If you do find yourself in that situation you can just
xhost + (newIP or name)
and you are back in business.
If you're behind an X firewall you can just
xhost +
(that was my situation)
Thanks,

As I recall, if you check out the Preferences pane (Security option)
for X11, it will tell you just that. Xauthority access may not work
when the IP address changes.

My experience has been that if I start X11 at home and go to the lab
I have the problem at the lab. If I keep X11 open and go back home -
it works again. The same pattern, but reversed, occurs if I start
it at the lab. I suspect that it is an IP issue. My hypothesis is
that X11 starts in one location and sets authority associated with a
particular localhost ID. When the machine goes to sleep and wakes up
in a new location it has a new localhost ID, but X11 doesn't know
that. Therefore the error.
Any validity to that hypothesis?

I have a powerbook and use it in a similar way (never shut down,
only sleep).
This same condition happened to me just last week. I didn't bother
to
investigate much, I took the easy way and just restarted X11. I'm
guessing
that $HOME/.Xauthority is getting corrupted, you may want to check
the output
of "xauth list" and see if it makes sense... if you ssh to other
machines from
X11 this may have an effect too on the .Xauthority file (depending
on how you
configure ssh).

Hi all,
I use Apple's X11 and fink 0.23.5 on an Ibook.
I never shut my laptop down, I always put it to sleep (I feel this
is not the correct way of saying this but think you can understand
what I mean).
Sometimes, when I wake it up, all works fine, except that I cannot
create any new window anymore. When I try to launch anything (like
an xterm for instance), I get a message like this:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
(except mozilla, which can launch new windows when it is already
running)
The only difference I notice between the situations in which this
problem
arises and the situations it does not, is that I think it happens
only
when I'm at home (I use this laptop at two different workplaces
and at
home). For a while I thought it might happen only when I am not
connected
by ethernet, but this turns out to be false (I am connected now
and it happens).
(a 'echo $DISPLAY' gives me :0.0 in bot cases).
I can usually solve the problem by putting the computer to sleep
and
waking it up again. After a few times either everything goes fine
or
X11 quits, and works fine when I launch it again. If I use the
'restart'
option in the menu I get by right-clicking on the background, it
shuts
X11 down, whereas it only restarts it when all works fine.
I have found no mention of similar problems on the mailing list
archive,
does anyone experience the same kind of problem? Note that this is
only
a minor inconvenience, but I am curious to know if there is a way
of
fixing this without having to launch X11 again (yes, I'm lazy).
Cheers,
Clemence
