I am trying to use Exceed to open a XWindows session on a Redhat 7.1 box. I can telnet to the machine, but when I try an xterm I get the error, "Where are you?". The xserver is running, or at least the gui is running, as well as telnet and rexec. What could be causing this error?

Ensure that XWindows is running on your Win Box. Telnet, ssh or whatever to your RedHat box. Type "DISPLAY=ip_address_of_win_box:0" without quotes. IF Exceed uses a different display number than 0 use it after the ":: . Type "export DISPLAY" withoutquotes. You should be able to launch your x apps. This should get you going.
