Displaying X windows applications on a Windows desktop
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)
Before you putty into the machine make sure you go to connection -> SSH -> X11 and set Enable X11 forwarding on.
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
run the program :)
Xming.exe: client 4 rejected from IP 192.168.1.215
Solution:
Edit: X0.hosts (c:\program files*86)\xming\ in the installation directory)
add the ip you want allow. my X0.hosts
“localhost
192.168.1.215″
Restart Xming.
Alternatives to X-Win:
Xming
XWinLogon Win32 X Server
Cygwin/X
Depreciated and insecure (manually setting the export environment)!
Putty into the machine you're running stuff off:
export DISPLAY=YOUR IP:0
