Run X-Util32 in Xwin32 and check out the help for Utilities Xhost and Xauth. Ignore Xauth until you get the basics working with Xhost. [I've never used Xauth so my advice to ignore it may be misguided.] On your bsd box both "man xhost" and "man xauth" are available, although I only mention this because they may give you more insight and not because you need to run these on the bsd box. You need these on the machine doing the DISPLAYing. With xhost you indicate by IP address who is allowed to connect. I am pretty sure that by getting "Client is not authorized to connect to Server" that it is not the firewall that is bouncing you but it is the X server on the winbox itself. That is good since it means that Xhost under Xutil32 is likely to help you. However, if I am wrong (meaning it is the firewall itself that is preventing the X connection) then you need to make sure that tcp port 6000 is open on the firewall. >> Yes, it is my router.

Well, I hope xauth gives you the functionality you need. -mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
