Problem connecting X - windows to HPUX through VPN

[Mike Blatsos]

I have various HPUX servers running 11.0 11.11 and am unable to complete a connection through a Cisco VPN session. We are using Exceed 7.1 and the chooser displays all the servers correctly. When a selection is made and an attempt to connect hangs. On the server side I see the connect starting in the wtmp file with the customers home IP not the one assigned by Cisco. If you do a winipcfg release and renew the home network drops you.

Any Help would be welcomed....

Mike,

I have the same setup without any issues.

You need to SPECIFY the IP address of the DISPLAY MANUALLY.


You can NOT use the @d option because it will return the IP of your PC before you went VPN!!!


I start xterm sessions like this, using xstart client:
start method is REXEC
program type is X windows

No kerberos V% support
No Load optimixation


/usr/bin/X11/xterm -sl 2000 -ls -sb -cr Wheat -T `hostname` -bg MidnightBlue -fg Wheat -fn 7x13 -fb 7x13B -display @d



CHANGE the @d to the VPN IP not the IP when the system was booted!

Mike,

one more thing, the Ip needs a WINDOW (0.0)

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -sl 2000 -ls -sb -cr Wheat -T `hostname` -bg MidnightBlue -fg Wheat -fn 7x13 -fb 7x13B -display XXX.YYY.ZZZ.JJJ:0.0


note the :0.0

That's a colon-zero-dot-zero

Is there any way you know of to get the CDE session, not just a xterm?

Hi Mike,

since HP delivers the OpenSSH these days, why not simply use that and tunnel your X-Windows through it???
OpenSSH for windows can easily (and freely) be taken from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin

Just my $0.02,
