I tried doing this by the book, and I can never get it to work. I used 'xhost +server.ip.address' on my machine then 'setenv DISPLAY my.ip.address:0' in an xterm telnetted to the server machine then 'netscape' on the server machine (in the xterm running telnet) I get a bit of a delay, then nothing. I know telnet is not secure, but that is all the machine offers at the moment. It's an old Sun system at school. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I just see netscape open up and starting running, just like usual, only slower? jcm -- o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathon McKitrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | "I prefer the term 'Artificial Person' myself." | o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
