Thanks Ben, I tried SSH too and got a timeout when running WinAXE xserver. I did not know where to go from there so thought Rlogin was the answer.

Presumably you have a good reason not to use ssh, which is far more secure and handles the remoting of X apps very nicely, _so_... To enable rlogin, edit /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin and set disable to "no". Reload (or HUP) the xinetd service. To use a remote xserver, do the following: localhost$ xhost +remotehost localhost$ rlogin remotehost remotehost$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0 remotehost$ xclock & You should see the xclock appear on localhost's primary display. Cheers, Ben
