I use xwin-32 on the win2k box to do the display. I have X-auth authentication turned on, but sometimes that can be a bit of a nightmare. To the original question, it looks like you are trying to start up an X-server remotely, which is not what ssh tunnelling is for. 1. you need an X-server already running on the local system (windows). I use a commercial product Xwin-32 from Starnet, but you could use the one with Cygwin. 2. run putty and enable X-forwarding (display is typically localhost:0) 3. ssh to your remote site. 4. run the remote X application (not the server) directly, although it might need to fire up a window manager (I've never needed to get that complicated) Cameron. >> Hello >> >> I am running RH8.
