If all you want is to start an application on the remote PC that connects to your X server then all you need to do: On the X server (your local machine): Code: xhost + On the remove machine: Code: export DISPLAY=<ip_address>:0.0 nohup wine program.exe& exit Where ip_address is the address of your local machine. BTW none of this has anything to do with Wine. It's a standard *NIX stuff.
