Im currently using PUTTY but having problems setting display


Hi,
I use PUTTY all the time and I love it. the problem is setting the display. I currently ssh into my linux box. Set the display to my win2k workstation and go about my business. except im getting a java.lang.nullpoonter exception. If i ssh from a linux workstation, all is fine. I have downloaded xwin32 and sometime i can correctly get the display set and sometime it just doesnt work.

Basically does anyone have an ssh client that can ssh from wondoze to linux and have the correct authorities for x communicaion. Currently im ssh with the -ls switch.
Maybe PUTTY has the capability, but I just cant seem to figure this out.
Thanks so much.

I believe the Java probelm is a X-Win32 issue. I think they have a fix posted on there site. Have you downloaded the X-Win32 Fonts?
