Accessing X application from remote
Hi,

I need to access X application like xclock( running on remote solaris box) on my local windows machine.

I know we have some X-win 32 s/f.. Tried with it , but not succesfull.

Do we have any other software to access solaris X application from local windows system.

What all setups are requried both the local end & remote end.

Thanks in Advance.

You can try Cygwin/X

http://x.cygwin.com/

While installing, make sure you select X11 to install.

You dont need anything extra on Solaris machine.
Start Cygwin/x on Windows machine. startx will start it. Then xhost + to disable access control
You can then do a telnet to solaris machine, set the DISPLAY to point to the Windows machine.

I use X-Deep/32 and have been pretty happy with it so far, then I tunnel X over ssh.

Cheers

Do you see any issues. I just installed it and it works fine..

After installation, I started Xserver
Did a telnet to my solaris machine and did the following
DISPLAY=<IP>:0.0
export DISPLAY

then i tried admintool and it shows up fine on Xserver
