Re: [MLUG] Help with Remote X for Bengal.

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Yah tried 
ssh -X -2 bengal.missouri.edu

and several other xserver protocols which HAVE worked in the past.

As far as how to do it in Win2K. there are numerous x11 client servers 
for windoze, the most respected, used, and with the longest history of 
which being Xwin32 from StarNet.com  (there used to be a functional/not 
fancy client authored and distributed by some geological or 
meteorological company)  Xwin32 is free for 30 days and has annoying 
disconnect popups that I think disappear once registered.  There is also 
a limit to session time length.  Lots of great bells and whistles.

Anyways.... More woes... installed Cisco's VPN from missouri.edu to try 
tunneling through their routers in case Xrequests were configured to be 
denied to non 128.206 dotted quads.  Didn't work on either computer, but 
more importantly once the mandatory reboot was made I no longer had a 
functioning nic.  The eth drop all the way up to the card is hot and 
fine and works in my laptop.  Card LEDs show carrier and traffic on the 
nic.....   honestly don't know if VPN munched my system, or if it just 
chose that moment to die.    Bedridden following back surgery, and 
unable to swap nics and track the problem down :(  Perhaps I can bribe 
my lovely wife. Uninstalling and then reinstalling, etc, both the card 
and the vpn fails to rectify anything.  I'm just grateful that it wasn't 
the linux/win2k box.
