If you work remotely, you need to export the DISPLAY to the remote system, not to the local host.

What is your remote OS?

Hope this helps!

Hope this helps!

OK, you need a Xserver application for your PC (for example xming).

once this is running, use putty to connect to your hp-ux server:

> putty -X hpux-server

Hope this helps!

That's the way it works ...

You need a Xserver on the local system (your PC).

Hope this helps!

See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System_protocols_and_architecture

the application that want to "draw" something is the client.

The application that "owns" the screen and does the drawing is the server.

So you need a local X-server if you want to see something on your pc.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
