Hi all... First thanks for all of your notes, but I see that I did not give enough info. #1 I don't do windows! <G> Both of my Linux boxes are sitting here in front of me on my home lan. I'm at the command line of system A. B is headless. I want to telnet or ssh (or whatever) to system B. Run X there and have it display on A's screen. I'm using SuSE 6.3 on both systems. At the command line "xhost" does not work I get an error. When I telnet (or ssh, I tried both) to B. I run "export DISPLAY=A:0", then "startx". On A's screen I get all the X messages, but no GUI. Just to see I put another screen on B and did all this again. I got all the messages etc on A's screen and the GUI came up on B's screen. So any ideas? TIA!

Yeah, SSH it a better bet as far as security goes, but that doesn't address the question of running X apps on Windows. There are no free* or OSS X-servers for WIndows that I've run across. There are some COMMERCIAL ones, (Netmanage, Exceed, etc...).
However, it you're going from *nix to *nix, it's pretty straight forward, as I recall.

said: Hmm perhaps i'm wrong but u SHOULD consider security first ... Please avoid using telnet at all , it's highly unsecure etc. Yes we actually use such program (that allows u to telnet X-sessions) but we only use it on our LAN , never on the internet. (to telnet local Unix machines) As far as i can remember it's written for windows/NT , i can't remember it's name , but I can refresh my memory if u really want me to , But anyway try using SSH :>
