I need a free x windows client for windows, so that I can run programs from the engineering unix cluster. That way I can do all my compsci homework from here and I never have to go to class (it's a total joke anyway). Where can I download one?

X-Win32 has a demo download that limits you to two-hour sessions.

Or you could see if Exceed is available through PSU.

hmm I can't figure out how to get it set up. I added a profile, but I don't know what the command is to start xwindows. here's what I'm doing:

start x-win
start tera term
connect to server
try to run nedit
"can't open display"

what am I missing?

btw for the command I tried using the default sun, linux, and 'other unix' ones but still nothin.

no I mean the command line in the xwin32 settings. something like /usr/X11/bin/xterm -ls -display $MYIP:$DNUM but I don't know what it is exactly. When I type startx it says

"Environment variable DISPLAY was set to dbl125.rh.psu.ed:0"

which is odd because it is missing the 'u' on 'edu'. w3rd...

If you are not actually logged in to the UNIX machine's terminal, and are connecting remotely, then you need to set the DISPLAY environment variable first. Run nedit like this:

DISPLAY=your_ip_addres:0 nedit

e.g.

DISPLAY=192.168.1.1:0 nedit

(you'll need to do this for any X Window program you run remotely... And of course the UNIX box has to be able to reach your home machine via TCP/IP, so if you have a firewall you'll need to set up port forwarding)

If I run startx it says what it says before, if I just try to run DISPLAY=blah:0 nedit then it says command DISPLAY not found.

I have no experience with this whatsoever, but I am *very* interested in it...

Is there anything special that needs to be done on the X Windows side to enable remote access?
