G’Day,

I am following the instructions detailed in APC Issue 277 Jan 2002 article
“Windows Onto Linux”. I have downloaded and installed WinAxe and have logged
in to my Linux box with the same username and password I use on my Win2K
box. I have exported the Display variable as detailed but when I type the
following at the linux box shell prompt I get:

donovan at moe:~$ export DISPLAY=192.168.42.10
donovan at moe:~$ gnome-terminal

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 192.168.42.10

My setup is as follows:

Linux Box:

192.168.40.2

Win2K Box:

192.168.40.10
WinAxe running as described in article

Anybody got some pointers for me?

TIA

-- Donovan
