Hi,
I use exceed in the office to connect to our solaris and aix machines.
However, outside of the office, we use VPN to connect and exceed does
not work. I'm assuming it's because the port is closed over vpn.
Could anyone tell me which ports are used so I can have the firewall
guy open these up?

Thanks.

winb...@techie.com (Winbatch) writes in comp.unix.solaris:

They use the same ports as the rest of X: 6000 + display number.
(i.e. if you're displaying to hostname:0 you need to be able to connect
to port 6000 on hostname, hostname:10 is port 6010)

If you're using XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Program) - which is
handled by "dtlogin" in Solaris CDE, then it listens on UDP port 177.
You can change it if you want (man dtlogin).
