Xfree86 and VPNs with Windows XP

[HowardWi@aol.com]

Hi,

You mention in your FAQs that there might be a problem with Xfree if there is VPN software on the windows machine.

I'm running windows XP and using a VPN to connect to my IRIX (SGI) machine at work.  I have a wireless router with a build in firewall.

I can run normal commands find, but somtime X11 commands generate errors like xlib: No protocol specified or Connection to ... refused by server.

I have tried different DISPLAY settings only to have the command run (I think) on the IRIX machine.

Do you know if this can be done or am I out of luck?

Thanks,
Howard Wilczynski
