Nope, Your display variable must be set to the IP or hostname of the X Server, which in this case is the Windows machine. X mangles the client/server difference, since the box displaying teh window is teh Server (And specified via DISPLAY) while the remote system running the apps is the client. To use XWin32 (Ditch it, it's very buggy, eXceed is far superior), you need to set your DISPLAY variable on the Unix host running the apps to: windowsboxip:0 Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Banning" <david@skytracker.ca> To: "Adam Maas" <mykroft@explosive.mail.net> Cc: <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 10:23 PM Subject: Re: identifying my network address > On Sun, Mar 09, 2003 at 09:26:51PM -0500, Adam Maas wrote: > > run ipconfig or winipcfg (The former for NT/2k/XP, the latter for 95/98/Me) > I wasn't clear enough.
