[CHAKRADHAR_1]

Hi all

To see which display (X server) you're trying
to affect:

echo $DISPLAY

Perhaps you can't communicate with the
display, or the DNS name look-up is hanging,
or ...

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom again,

Try a connect by IP address, not hostname. If IP works and name does not, its a DNS issue.

DNS can be resolved by checking and changing /etc/resolv.conf or by setting up your own networking in /etc/hosts, depending on the client.

Verify what? You may know what you're doing
but we can't see it.

What is your X server (display)? (Is there
an HP-UX system in here somewhere?)

echo $DISPLAY

How is the X server connected to the HP-UX
system? Or is the HP-UX system the X server?

[Dave Hutton]

Are you doing this from the console by chance? I've always had issues trying to rlogin/telnet/ssh into a server and try to get xhosts to fire up.

Usually its easier on the console. (Or only doable on the console?)
