Last week (14 of Nov. 2002) i downloaded CYGWIN, installed it on WIN98, all works fine. All WIN-Computers are connected in a LAN with my LINUX-Server. With CYGWIN on WIN98 i can do all, that i need: rlogin, rsh, ftp, telnet. And of course use CYGWIN as X-Server for programs, that run under linux.
Now i wanted to install CYGWIN on a WIN95-computer, there i have problems: o as with WIN98 i used startxwin.sh, the X-Server starts, i can see it, it runs, i can move for instance the mouse. But then i can see the messages vom twm, xsetroot and xterm: .. unable to open display '127.0.0.1:0.0'. I could see, that the X-Server did something, changed colour to black, went off, came again. o To test what happens i startet first XWin.exe, waited until it was running, then i made: xhost +. Again the message: .. unable to open display '127.0.0.1:0.0'. The X-Server changed to black, diappeared, came again with the colour, before i made "xhost". o Then i made the next attempt: i startet XWin.exe, and tried on my LINUX-computer: DISPLAY=192.0.2.10:0.0 ; export DISPLAY ; xterm. I got the answer from the WIN-95-X-Server, that this is not allowed. This was what i expected, because xhost did not run correctly und WIN95-CYGWIN. o I made the next attempt: on WIN-95, under CYGWIN BASH, i made: telnet 192.0.2.112, i got the Login-Prompt from LINUX to enter the name, but when i typed the first letter of my Login-Name, this letter was endless repeated. I made the same attempt on another WIN-95- Computer, exakt the same, with telnet the first letter i entered was repeated endless. Then i testen on WIN-98, there telnet did all right. This shows: under WIN95 there is something other than in WIN98. Perhaps there is the problem, as the programs speak with the X-Server over net-moduls, as ist telnet does. rlogin and ftp worked correctly under WIN95, in opposite to telnet. All my computers have fixed IP-Adresses (WIN-95: 192.0.2.10, LINUX: 192.0.2.112). Perhaps you can help me. If not, i know, that CYGWIN only works fine with NEWER WIN-Operating-Systems. Perhaps i have an problem with errors in WIN-95. I made the test also on an newly installed WIN-95-computer, with ONLY WIN-95 installed, nothing other. Also on this computer i got the error-message " unable to open display ..", and also telnet repeats the firs letter of my Login-Name endless.
