There are two parts to this setup. On the linux side, you have to enable XDMCP. In Redhat 8, there is a utility called gdmsetup that does this. Either launch gdmsetup from the command line, or it should be under System Settings -> Login Screen in the menu. On the XDMCP tab, check the box to Enable DXMCP.
Then, there is the actual Cygwin setup on the Windows side. I think the available documentation is sufficient to get it up and running, but I kind of knew what I was looking for. So, if you are going to give this a try, I would see if you get it working, and if not, myself, or someone on this list should be able to walk you through it. Once Cygwin is installed, you bring up a Cygwin shell. It helps to realize that Cygwin is basically a UNIX 'emulator' that runs on Windows. Once you have a cygwin shell, you access the linux box using a command like: Xwin.exe :0 -query 192.168.168.102 -screen 0 1024 768 where you replace the IP address with the IP of your linux box. If you have DNS available on your network, you can use the hostname instead of the IP address. I realize that this won't make sense until you actually have it in front of you, so don't hesitate to ask questions. -- Shannon Neumann Neumannweb Computers www.neumannweb.net > I am interested in how you set this up. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Shannon Neumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 9:56 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Red Hat 8 and Exceed > > > Is Exceed something that you already have on-hand?
