Setting the X11 display to show X applications under Win2k

Start up X-Win32 / Xming and an XDMCP 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
