You definately do not need ssh to make this work.... what you probably need to do is make sure that the firewall on your linux machine lets the x-session through. default port nubers are: "The X11 server for each display listens on ports 6000 + display number." so for linuxsystem1:0 you should enable inbound traffic on port 6000, for linuxsystem1:1 it would be port 6001. xhost + grants "ALL" permissions to use your linux workstation as an X server, better should be to use "xhost +yourHPmachine" and then when your done......"xhost -yourHPmachine" using ssh with tunnelled X is more secure as with the requested method both your login information on the HP and the X data are going through the network unencrypted. |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Matthijs Sneijders | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----+---------------------------------+-----------------| | | CORUS Research, Development & | | | | Technology | | |-----+---------------------------------+-----------------| | | Building 3G16 room 3-337 | | |-----+---------------------------------+-----------------| | | P.O.
