What type of machine is "exec" (if that is the remote computer name), does it have the Rexec Service?

"You cannot connect to computers running the Windows Server 2003 family, Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems by using the rexec command because Windows operating systems do not provide the Rexec service."

Rexec. (Help and Support).

"Runs commands on remote computers running the Rexec service (daemon). The rexec command authenticates the user name on the remote computer before executing the specified command. Windows XP and Windows 2000 do not provide the Rexec service. Used without parameters, rexec displays help.

This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections."

My computer is a Windows XP Pro, and i'm runing a batch file that tries to execute the following commands:
xhost 10.7.135.17
start rexec 10.7.135.17 /usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display 10.7.135.215:0.0
on a UNIX server 10.7.135.17
10.7.135.215 is my computer's ip address

But it doesn't give me the login window.

When i execute the commande "rexec 10.7.135.17 /usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display 10.7.135.215:0.0" on DOS it gives me the error "rexec: exec/tcp: Unknown service"

Just a curiosity question, but do you have an X server on your Windows XP box, and is it currently running?

Without and X server running, you don't have anything for the xterm to connect with.
