Hi,

i have an aix5.3 machine that i need to have xwindows, xterm, enabled.
if i am in the same subnet as the machine, i have no problem when i do
export DISPLAY=pc/hostname:0.0
xhost +
then i can use the xterm;

however if i try the same export DISPLAY but to a machine in a different
subnet it complains about : cannot open display.

do you know if the x11 works for the same subnet only ?
is there any configuration change that i need to do in order to get xterm from
another subnet ?


thank you

./antonio/.

X11 is ordinary TCP/IP traffic and follows the same routing rules as the
rest of your traffic. X11 servers normally start at port 6000/tcp.

Things to check:

Can you ping the machine in the other subnet from the AIX machine?

Can you telnet to port 6000 from the AIX machine to the machine in the
other subnet?

Is there a firewall between the subnets that blocks port 6000?
