UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello, Gurus,

I have two UNIX boxes sitting on different LAN. I want run a command ( ex: Veritas web console ) on MachineA and let the GUI display on MachineB, because MachineB's IP ( 190.x.x.x ) was created by DHCP and it is on a different LAN with MachineB (10.x.x.x), the GUI couldn't be displayed. Somebody told me I need to setup a static router to make those two box talking, Is this a right solution? How do I know which static router IP I need to use? I could telnet from MB to MA, but couldn't telnet from MA to MB.Do I need to change any other configuration files in MB?

Thanks in advance!

If you can TELNET from one machine to the other then your routing is OK. The problem might be a firewall or packet filter configuration or X server permissions problem.

IF you want to run a MachineB's command on machineA.you can try :
MachineA$>telnet MachineB
MachineB$>xhost +
MachineB$>export DISPLAY=MachineA's IP:0.0( ex: 192.x.x.x:0.0)
MachineB$>run command
