|
| This is what I do
|
| 1. On my linux box I ran
| [root at paulus root]# xhost +
| access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
| [root at paulus root]# ifconfig eth0
| eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:DC:E6:2A:DB
|           inet addr:192.168.200.35  Bcast:192.168.200.255
| Mask:255.255.255.0
|           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
|           RX packets:745961 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
|           TX packets:4510422 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
|           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
|           RX bytes:77979401 (74.3 Mb)  TX bytes:2364482264 (2254.9 Mb)
|           Interrupt:11 Base address:0xa000
|
| 2. On my solaris box, I ran
| Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.9       Generic May 2002
| # DISPLAY=192.168.200.35:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
| # echo DISPLAY
| 192.168.200.35:0.0
|
| 3. Then I ran a simple command on my Solaris server and got this message :
|
| # /usr/X/bin/xterm
| /usr/X/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.200.35:0.0
| # /usr/X/bin/xterm -ls -display 192.168.200.35:0.0
| /usr/X/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.200.35:0.0
|
| What's wrong with this? Did I miss something? Or is it impossible to do
| such thing?
|
| Thank you for your kind attention
|
| Regards,
|
|
