Brian,
Did you start an xserver on your PC (we use xming)? Once you've done that,
you need to set the DISPLAY environment variable to your PCs IP address:0.0
(ex: export DISPLAY=100.100.100.1:0.0). Then it should work, provided you
don't have firewall issues.

Ok, running HPUX on the server. I launch Reflections from my pc and log onto
the server. I want to run the oracle installer for 11g. I know I have to get
an xterm going. I've done this a few times before on these servers but have
gone brain dead. I've googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find
anything that works. I've tried setting the DISPLAY to the ip of the server,
setting the DISPLAY to my pc's IP, xhost, xterm commands and usually come up
with "Can't open display: " Anybody familiar with this setup?
