I regularly run xomni on our HPUX server using ReflectX running on Win2K as the client. My laptop is dual boot Win2k and SuSe Linux 7.2. Surely there is a way to use the Linux box as the Xwindow client? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Things to verify:

- Does your hp server know your linux box ( ping )
- xhost linux_hostname
- Have you set the DISPLAY variable on your linux client

This was the first question that I have posted in this Q&A Forum. The answer I got was to the point but did not resolve my question. I tried to rate it, but that did not seem to work. I was able to figure out how to do what I was trying to do. Let me say that it is necessary to verify the network connection, xhost, and DISPLAY. To get this to work I needed to use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE and xauth.
