You need to run an X-server on your windows box ( see cygwin for example) The X server runs as a regular Server (like your web server) and can be connected to from any location on the network (if allowed of course). This by setting export DISPLAY=HOST:0.0 on the terminal session of the linux server you wish to start the application on and then run the X-application There are other means to do this (like use XDMCP an log in on that server from your client box through X or ssh -X which sets your DISPLAY variable automatically and uses the ssh connection to tunnel your X-requests through it (I do not know if that works under cygwin though) W > > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
