When I do >setenv DISPLAY "155.242.11.3:0.0" >xclock on the Unix side (155.242.11.3 being the VAX' IP address) the VAX' disk churns a bit and I get the error Error: Can't open display: 155.242.11.3:0.0 along with an entry in the TCP_ACTIVITY.LOG: 20-OCT-1994 00:06:51.79 SYN received for unknown port 6000 from <155.135.18.1> 20-OCT-1994 00:06:52.94 SYN received for unknown port 6000 from <155.135.18.1> so I thought, "oh, there is no server defined for that port in my internet.config" but the closest guess I could make or this was to use the decw$transport_cmu.exe program. I added a line to ip_startup.com: $ Define/system/exec/NoLog TCP$XSRV CMUIP_ROOT:[tekip]decw$transport_cmu.EXE and a line to internet.config: WKS:6000:XSRV:TCP$XSRV:NETWRK:NETMBX,TMPMBX,PHY_IO,CMKRNL,WORLD,SYSPRV:::::4:5 but this didn't work. I think I did the things mentioned in the FAQ: -copying decw$transport_cmu.exe to sys$library and making it executable -installing it -adding CMU to decw$private_server_setup.com -rebooting -changing my decw$smb_security.dat and I also tried setenv DISPLAY "hepnsf:0" as well as 0.0. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? It works fine if I want to display VMS clients on the Unix machine.
