How do I do this?
The X-windows package I'm using is StarNet's X-Win32, mostly because It's the only environment
I'm familer with, and it seems to work rather well for the network set up here at my school. It
doesn't seem to support ssh though, so if you reccomend a different server package, I'll give it a
try.
Attempting to add the server to xhost yields the following error.
Xlib: connection to "10.26.9.72:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display "10.26.9.72:0.0"
