- Provided you are using TCP/IP, do the following.
-
- Say your vax is called myvax.somewhere.wherever. Log in from that vax onto the
- machine where you want to run the X application. If it is a Unix
- machine, do:
-
- setenv DISPLAY myvax.somewhere.wherever:0.0
-
- Then run the X application. If the other machine is a VAX, do:
-
- $ set display/create/transport=TCPIP/node="myvax.somewhere.wherever"
- $ display == "myvax.somewhere.wherever:0.0"
-
- And run the X application.
-
- [Note: the domain names (myvax.somewehere.wherever) are case sensitive.]
