xclock does not display on my workstation

[sheevm]

Hi,

I am setting my DISPLAY variable with
1.2.3.4:0.0 AND export. This is my PC IP.

When I type xclock it comes up with cannot open display 1.2.3.4

I did xhost +1.2.3.4(this is unix box IP)
I receive same message as xclock.

HP L2000 with HP-UX 11.0

Thanks.

You have an X windows server running on your PC?

You have to have X-client software running on your PC. Popular types are ReflectionX and Xceed.
Basically, XCLOCK will attempt to open an X window at the IP nominated in the DISPLAY variable, at screen number 0.0. For that you need software that knows what to do with the X11 data stream.
Windows doesn't come standard with that type of software.

I do not know. How can I check?

Start ->All Programs ?

Is this your PC?

Thnaks. I am not running any X windows on my PC.

But I am trying to debug this problem for an Orcale DBA who has loaded exceed in her PC and trying to display xclock to test.
She is having the same problem.


She needs this for oracle install.

Execced config/communication has Display set to 0.

She setting her DISPLAY TO
PC_IP:0.O

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, you have to start the Xceed server in passive mode. I can't remember if exceed had an "allowed server" list anywhere. I suggest that you get an exceed manual somewhere.
