I connet to the net with DHCP. I have to comment out 'hostname=...' in /etc/rc.conf. (How can I have a hostname, anyway?) When I tried to connect to a remote host and open a xterm or other X applications, it says 'Error: Can't open display' message. I set: #setenv DISPLAY unix:0.0 and it didn't work. I also set hostname by #hostname Foobar and tried again #setenv DISPLAY Foobar and it still doen't work. What I want to do is to connect to a remote system and open X applications on the local X server(my FreeBSD box). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
