Connecting to X Windows using XDMCP Broadcast...

[Lee Harris_5]

Hi,

I have Exceed running on a Windows XP machine on my LAN (which is the workstation I am using) and have a HP-UX 11.11 machine also on the same LAN. As I do not have a Monitor, keyboard or mouse attached to my HP box, I'd like to use Exceed to connect to X windows from my XP machine onto my HP box. What do I need to do to get this working?

Many Thanks - Lee

Lee,

If you haven't reconfigured your HP machine to disable dtlogin process, you will be able to get your exceed emulation. You don't need to run broadcast.. all you do is fire up Exceed. Right click on the icon Select Tools -> Configuration. In the configuration window, select "XDMCP-indirect" and click on configure. Specify your HP system there and it should bring up the CDE. Check if there are any firewalls in between your HP system and windows that do not allow X-traffic. Run 'ps -ef|grep dtlogin' on your HP system and see if there is a process running.
