See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 4 Jun 1997 00:00:01 EST First, make sure your DISPLAY variable is syntactically correct. For example, to display applications on a machine named "enterprise", whose IP address is 123.45.678.90, DISPLAY should be set to "enterprise:0" or "123.45.678.90:0". Next, try to "ping" the machine to which your DISPLAY variable is set. If this does not work, you have either specified an invalid hostname, the host is down, or you are having network problems. If you are running an older binary that expects to see /etc/resolv.conf in /usr/etc, you will either have to make a symbolic link from /usr/etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf, or set the DISPLAY variable with a numeric address. If you see messages like "permission denied" or "can't connect to server", you have a permission problem. Do 'xhost +yourmachine' on the remote machine to give 'yourmachine' access to the remote machine's display. (Note that 'xhost' is inactive by default on SGIs.) If you're using NIS (YP), make sure the client is linked with "-lsun". For more information see Chapter 3 of the X Window System User's Guide.
