Our server is running Solaris 10 (09/10). One of the applications
require Xwindows display for installation. At the programmer's
workstation, we are using Hummingbird Exceed version 2008 for the
Xwindows display. Exceed is asking for ports 6000-6999 to be opened.
How does one check whether these ports are open or not at the
server ? Any other recommendation on tool for client display besides
Exceed ?

Thanks,

Bill

Cygwin/X? I think it requires the whole Cygwin enchilada installing,
but I've heard of one case where it worked better than Exceed.

Cygwin/X is free, I've never had issues with it. Exceed costs
money.....

Another option is to install UNIX inside VirtualBox hosted on
the Windows box.

Or just use VNC on the Sun and PC. The bonus is you get to share PC desktops
that way.

One would think that as long as you don't have a firewall sitting
between your workstation and your server, you should have those ports
open on an "as needed" basis. You might have to use xhost to allow
the connection back as well, I think.

I like Xming - http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/

and PuTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Start Xming locally, then SSH to the remote host with X11 forwarding
enabled via PuTTY options. The window for apps you run will come back
across the SSH tunnel.
