Hi

How do you start AIXwindows Window Manager (MWM) on my AIX server. When ever I try to open I get
"Could not open display"
from my remote work station.
 

Is your DISPLAY variable set??

I am able to get it working from my PC

[li]export DISPLAY=IP ADDRESS:0.0[/li]

Please note IP ADDRESS = IP of PC.
Local & Remote Firewall rules can stop Xterm displaying
