Setting the X11 display to show X applications under Win2k

Start up X-Win32 / Xming and an XDMCP / broadcast session. Make sure the server you are going to run the application from has permissions in the X-server (for Xming it's in the X0.hosts file)

Putty into the machine you're running stuff off:

export DISPLAY=YOUR IP:0

run the program :)

Make sure the machine with the program on it (eg. /usr/games/tuxeyes) has xdm installed, and has open ports on the firewall (eg /etc/shorewall/rules:


ACCEPT fw loc tcp x11

ACCEPT fw loc udp x11


Xming.exe: client 4 rejected from IP 192.168.1.215 Solution: Edit: X0.hosts (lay in the installation directory) add the ip you want allow. my X0.hosts “localhost 192.168.1.215″ Restart Xming.
