OK, looks simple... In your /etc/hosts file, make sure you have the 127.0.0.1 localhost line with your correct domain name in the fully qualified parameter. Mine looks like this: # $Id: hosts,v 1.9 1998/04/16 14:37:19 joerg Exp $ # 127.0.0.1 localhost.one-mo.com localhost 192.168.1.1 serv01.one-mo.com serv01 Then in your .cshrc or .profile or .whatever-shell-you-use-startup-stuff file set the environment variable DISPLAY to localhost:0.0 and export it. That should take care of things. Good luck!
