X Windows Frustration

[Tim Krego_1]

Can anyone recommend a good source of documentation on X? I am trying to access my K460 over the LAN using Starnet X-Win.

I need to start at the beginning. What ports need to be open, how to setup the server and clients, etc.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

If you really want a good understanding of X, the best I can suggest are two O'Reilly books
'X Windows System Administrator's Guide' and
'X Windows System User's Guide'. These cover it all. See: http://www.oreilly.com

If you are really frustrated trying to get connected, you might try Reflection X - the install is easy and you typically get a CDE login out of the box. Unless you specifically
disabled it, the HP-UX install already has configured that end for you.

Hope this helps, Clay

port 6000, 177 and 7000 are the main ports I think.

install CDE runtime so dtlogin can handle the xdmcp requests from the pc. check its running ps -ef | greo dtlogin and all should be well .....

good luck

I always wondered if the O'Reilly books would help. With the 1992 copyright I assumed they were out of date.

Thanks
