Using cygwin to view a remote xwindow

Using cygwin to view a remote xwindow

1) start cygwin vask shell
2) type startx
3) in the x~ window that appears, type:
xhost
where is the IP address of the server that hosts the window to which we want to connect
4) connect to machine using nortel
5) check the IP address of this machine in the nortel connection (e.g. 143.5.x.x)
6) launch a terminal window and connect a terminal window to Host machine ie JOE, REPETE
7) type export DISPLAY=:0.0 (where is the value from step 5)
8) you can now run the x application on the remote machine and all going well, it should appear on the local box (try xclock)
