Hi,

Let me try couple of suggestions.

1. Make sure you have the dtlogin process running on the server.
2. Run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt to see if you get any errors.
3. If there is a firewall/port filters between your PC and the server, make sure they allow ports 6000+ for X communication.

Absolutely make sure that you server can resolve a hostname from your PC's ip address. This one stops a lot of people!

I don't see the dtlogin process running. The system does not have a graphics console. What files do I need to modify to have it start? I ran xterm and it works ok, but I want the cde desktop.

dr_dt reports 0 errors and 20 warnings.

There are no firewall. xterm works ok.

Well then there the problem is. Edit your /etc/rc.config.d/desktop and make sure you have "DESKTOP=CDE", then start it using /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start. Make sure you have the dtlogin process running after that.
