your win2000 desktop is configured with an IP address, right? Let's say it's 1.64.34.214
connect to your debian box, set DISPLAY to 1.64.34.214:0 and it should work. Note that SSH isn't relevant at this point, you have a session on your debian box that will then try to open any x-windows programs on the remote display on your computer. You may have to fiddle with the security settings on Exceed, not sure. I use a similar configuration with windows NT and X-winpro. It works OK.

I have also installed Hummingbird Exceed 6.2 on the Win2000 machine. It seems that PuTTY doesn't support X forwarding. So how do I go about displaying X clients on my Win2000 desktop which has a working X server (Exceed) ? I tried setting $DISPLAY to :0.0 while connected to my Debian server, but that didn't work ? I need to figure out how to display X clients on my Win2000 desktop while being logged into the Debian box using PuTTY. Thanks for any info. -- Salman Ahmed ssahmed AT pathcom DOT com
