Hi, This seems to be getting closer. At least both sides keep trying. OK, I seemed to get the closest to successy by doing this. (Dragonfly is a local machine on my network.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ xhost +Dragonfly Dragonfly being added to access control list [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ export DISPLAY=:2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ ssh -X dragonfly /usr/bin/gnome-session [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key (gnome-session:9576): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ Is this possibly because I don't have specific ports open? Not sure about the Xnest suggestion as this is a network of both Gentoo and FC2 machines and my FC2 machines do not seem to have Xnest. Thanks for your ideas!
