Hello!
I have the X server running on my local NT machine. I must say I
haven't been this excited since I had an X server running on my OS/2
workstation... ;)
Now, on to the next step. I have a Linux box that I want to use to run
remote X apps. On the NT workstation I tried to use the xhost command:
D:\WIN32\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>xhost +204.238.175.35
xhost: unable to open display ""
As you can see, I get an error. Am I doing something correct, or am I
just jumping the gun on this?
Thank you very much for your help. It will be nice to have an X server
running on my NT workstation: I won't have to switch over to the Linux
box to get to the X apps I occasionally need...
