X windows

Hi
I have Linux enterprise 2.1 running. But i have unable to see the machine from the Xmanager software(which list all X terminal machines). I can log in telnet and ssh. My Xmanager shows me X interfaces of SGI an SUN machines but i dont get the Linux machine.
Please tell me what to do.

I could swear I already replied to this---is this a duplicate post?

What is enterprise 2.1? eg is it RedHat, SUSE, ??

I infer you are trying to connect thru a network---what is the setup? eg what is the computer used as a terminal and how are the computers connected?

Assuming it is a network, can you ping the Linux box?

Is your SSH server allowing X11 forwarding?

perhaps he is talking about XDMCP instead of SSH's X forwarding
