Very Computer

Just a checklist to see if you've missed anything:

1)  Start the X-server on your win98 box.
2)  Right mouse on the little X icon in the system tray, choose "X-Config"
    click on the "Display" tab, see that your correct IP is checked and not
"proxy",
              also make sure the Display number is set to 0
    click on the "Security" tab and make sure that "Access Control" is
disabled
3)  telnet/ssh/login to the Unix box
4)  sh/ksh:  DISPLAY=<win98's IP address in step 2 above>:0; export DISPLAY
     csh:  setenv DISPLAY <win98's IP address>:0
5)  xterm (or /usr/openwin/bin/xterm if it's not already in your path)

If that doesn't work then I would try to determine who's the problem here,
the X-server on your pc (can you open any x-clients from any other systems?)
or something with the DISPLAY setting or something on the unix box (can you
open an X-term from there to any other X-servers?).

Hope this helps,

Jamie
