Alain, If you are running a VPN, when you start the X Server on Win2K tell it to query the machine running XDM (or other display manager) that you want an X session on. The VPN software should take care of routing your packets to the right location across the net for you. For example, if you are using 10.0.0.1 & 10.0.0.2 and the other side of the VPN is running 10.0.0.3 & 10.0.0.4, start your X Server with '-query 10.0.0.3(or 4)'. If that doesn't work then you need to investigate your VPN setup and firewall. On Wed, 2002-02-27 at 09:11, Alain Fabry wrote: > Following is my setup. > > FreeBSD box without monitor.
