You have probably already done this, but just in case, make sure to type
xhost +
on the local machine you want netscape to show up on to allow the incoming X connection.
Make sure the window you are typing this in is the system you are sitting at, not the remote system.

Subject: DISPLAY ?



Wondering if I am typing something wrong here.

When I enter ' export DISPLAY=62.238.66.67:0 '  followed by
/usr/sbin/netscape
(on the next line), all I get is:

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 62.238.66.67:0

Will this not work in RH8. That is what I am using and this used to
work
before (not RH8) and was wondering if maybe I need to change the
numbers.

What I am tryiing to do is 'remotely'  open up netscape in another
system.
This means that I go in using telnet or ssh and than (as root) enter
the above
two lines.  I should see Netscape but I don't ..

Any thoughts??
