I setup Cygwin/X in a VMWare guest WinXP. When I'm in office, I can use
xterm to connect to a remote Unix host. When I'm at home, I use VPN to
connect to the office inside VM. In that case, xterm cannot connect to the
remote host and prints the following error:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
In VM, I can telnet to the remote host and I can ping the VMWare client IP
from the remote Unix host. Any idea?
