I am having trouble connecting via xfree.
>From cygwin I am trying to connect to a Linux system and am doing the
following:
cygwin> xhost remote.host.name
cygwin> ssh remote.host.name
I then log in.
Then on remote
remote> DISPLAY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
remote> export DISPLAY
remote> xterm&
I then get the following error:
Xlib: connection refused by server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
Xlib: client is not authorized to connect to server
xterm XT error can't open display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
Any help would be appreciated.
I can get this to work on a local network of the remote host, but not
across the internet.
Thanks, Tom
