I'm reviewing the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide. I'm from an NT background so I'm expecting to go the the cygwin command box and type 'telnet'. I've tried this next according to the users guide, what am I missing? $ ./xhost targetbox ./xhost: unable to open display "" I'm trying to telnet according to page 16 and page 17 of the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide. Unsecure Telnet On your Windows machine: 1. Launch Cygwin/XFree86 2. In an X terminal type /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost remote_host_ip_address 3. In an X terminal type /usr/bin/telnet remote_host_ip_address. Use the explicit path to ensure that Cygwin's telnet is run instead of Microsoft's telnet; Microsoft's telnet will crash on startup when run from Cygwin/XFree86. 4. Login to your remote machine via your telnet session 5. In your telnet session type, DISPLAY=windows_host_ip_address:0.0 6. In your telnet session type, export DISPLAY 7. You can now launch remote X clients in your telnet session, for example, xterm& will launch an xterm running on your remote host that will display on your Cygwin/XFree86 screen. 8. Launch other remote clients in the same manner; I recommend starting the remote clients in the background, by appending & to the command name, so that you don't have to open several telnet sessions. -----Original Message----- From: Wityk, Michael Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 4:35 PM To: 'Peter Buckley' Cc: 'cygwin AT cygwin DOT com' Subject: RE: telnet installation problems I'm starting the desktop cygwin.bat.

Are you talking about the telnet client or server? Have you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-x.x.x-README? Are you trying to start it from a bash shell? As a service? Please describe the problem (and give us details), and then maybe more people can help you.
