Did you grant access to that host to display stuff on your X server? I've run Netscape from a Sun and it worked great. (maybe it was sunos, not solaris) 1. run xhost +remote_host_name 2. login to remote 3. setenv DISPLAY your_host_name:0 4. Run X app. > My assumption is that there is a problem with the window manager > interface. I have seen the same failure running twm and mwm. Haven't > tried any others. > > Any suggestions? Some programs (vic notably) throw a fit if they can't allocate shared memory w/ the server. This is a problem with remote X sessions. You might take a look at the system log file and see if netscape or the X server are emitting errors there.
