I am using Exceed to access my Redhat Linux Desktop. It works great if
my PC uses a static IP address. If I use dhcp it doesn't work. Any
advice?

Thanks,

Make sure your Linux box can ping your PC by name, then export your
display using your PC's name instead of an IP Address.

export DISPLAY=mypc:0

I use Exceed with a DHCP supplied address with no problem. What error
are you getting? Is your $DISPLAY variable set to the DHCP address?

I'm sorry, I should have added that I am using Exceed in "query" mode
to display the entire desktop back to my PC. I should see the desktop
before I login to the machine but with DHCP the screen stays grey.
With a static IP it works fine.

Thanks
