Bring CDE session to windows XP

Hello,

Do you guys remember the command to bring the CDE like session drawn into your windows xp desktop.
I already export my display variable to my PC..
#export DISPLAY=:0:0

I am running Reflection X, now I have a connection to my server, and the only thing I see is a terminal like window from reflcetion X. But I remember there was a command that I could type in this window to show me like a CDE session of the server.

Thanks,

Luis Nassar

All you really have to do is open your Reflection X Client manager and select an XDMCP Broadcast session or an XDMCP Direct Session and [Connect] and you should get a CDE login. It may be necessary to first run an xhosts + command on the server.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hi,

i dont't know Reflection X but have connetctions like this running with XMing. The key is XDMCP as Clay said.

For some more information you might find Wikipedia useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDMCP

Hope this helps

Re: Bring CDE session to windows XP

You have to be sure what you need. If you want to run a CDE session at your Windows machine, 2 things need to be done:
1. Enable XDMCP at your Unix server. If you have GNOME installed then you can enable XDMCP from GDM configuration tool.
2. Install a Terminal Server client on your Windows machine. One is available at http://www.linuxtsc.org


On the other hand,if you just want any of your local (Unix) X apps to display on a Windows machine, you need to export your DISPLAY variable to point to that machine and install a X server application (http://www.cygwin.com). Make sure that you permit the Unix machine to use your Windows X server; by running xhost + on Cygwin shell.

Shalom,

XDMCP is blocked by many VLAN network schemes, designed to reduce network connection.

Direct connection will have to be used if this is the case.

Re: Bring CDE session to windows XP

Your HPUX server mush have CDE installed and running.

Also when you start ReflectX there is an direct and indirect query of the CDE/X-Server for you to select to connect to. If this is not what you're seeing then thats the issue in how your ReflectX session is configured.
