Ok...I think I have a partial lack of understanding of how the display numbers work. I tried 0.0, and it said the connection was refused, followed by "no protocol specified". I also tried 0.2 on a longshot. BTW, I'm running these commands from an xterm window....if that helps/matters. --Brian -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Tim Kellers Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 10:15 PM To: Brian McCann; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Remote X from another BSD Box Are you setting your DISPLAY variable? for example: bash export $DISPLAY=(the IP address of the Open BSD box):0.0 or for the (t)csh >setenv DISPLAY (the IP address of the Open BSD box):0.0 where the :0.0 part is the number of the X display on your OpenBSD box Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT On Wednesday 19 March 2003 10:06 pm, Brian McCann wrote: > Hi all.
