OK I installed Cywin on a PC (Win2000) - and I
installed the XFree86 and.....
it works! Well - up to point anyhow. I
can't persuade the local 'X' environment
to accept connections from our Linux Box - or at
least, not except for a round about route.
Clearly I don't understand something. I start
up Cygwin and do XWin and hey presto
up pops an X window. I can connect locally to
this in that I can run twm locally and within
it I can run local apps like xeyes, xcalc, etc
which are supplied with the Cygwin environment.
However if I try xhost <linux IP box address>
or even xhost + which I thought would
allow all X connections it replies that it cannot
open "". What does "" refer to and
where should it be set?
I also tried a Win98 installation but it cannot
open/find the font "default" which seems
rather strange.
Anyone able to point me in the right
direction?
