Or, to be slightly more secure:
xhost +hostname_or_ip_of_sun_server
And if you issue 'xhost', you'll see the list of hosts authorized to
connect to your X server.
If you do xhost +, it disables host-based security, any host can
connect.
If you do xhost -, it turns on host-based security, only authorized
hosts can connect.
'xhost +hostname' authorizes a host
'xhost -hostname' de-authorizes a host. (But I don't think it will kill
existing connections.)
Hope that helps,
-Mark

Hi all,
I am having some problems getting the installer to startup on a new
laptop and was hoping I could get some help from the list.
I have installed cygwin with the X11 option. If I start cygwin and type
startx I get an X window to open up without any errors. If I do a
netstat -a at this point I see something listening at port 6000 which is
what I believe I should expect.
TCP mycomp:6000 mylaptop:0 LISTENING
I login into our Sun box and export DISPLAY=<my laptops IP>:0.0. I then
kick off xclock for a test. After executing xclock, the process will
hang for a bit before returning the error message
Error: Can't open display: <my laptops IP>:0.0
While the xclock command is hanging, I perform a netstat -a on the sun
box and see the following:
<sun server>.54453 <my PC>.6000 0 0 24820 0
SYN_SENT
The sun server is resolving my laptop name incorrectly, but since I am
setting my display to the IP address I am not sure how much that
matters.
On the sun server if I try to telnet to port 6000 I get the same
SYN_SENT message from netstat
<sun server>.54864 <my PC>.6000 0 0 24820 0
SYN_SENT
Is it possible that I am running into a windows firewall issue on my
laptop? I don't have permissions to turn off the windows firewall,
but was told by desktop support that he opened port 6000. I am not sure
if his change worked though
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
