Dear all,

I'm trying to connect to Linux Server with OS RHEL 7.1 from a windows 7 laptop

I've checked from the redhat server that X11 is enabed
/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Code:

X11Forwarding yes

my ipconfig yields the following result:

Code:

C:\Users\wojciech>ipconfig /all | find "IPv4"
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.60.100.217(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.200.0.20(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.84.116(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.56.1(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.244.1(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.157.1(Preferred)

I've done a netstat -a

Code:

C:\Users\wojciech>netstat -n

The redhat server ip is 192.168.8.40

based on the 7 answers found in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...ver-over-a-vpn,

Quote:

If there's no VPNIP:6000 it may be binding only to your localIP or even 127.0.0.1. That will probably not work over the VPN.

How should I make the graphical display on the redhat server to appear on my laptop?

no matter what DISPLAY I export it still fails,

thanks in advance!

would be nice to explain a bit better:
1. your client is a windows 7 laptop (from which you want to connect to your server)
2. your server is a RHEL 7.1.
3. where is this file located? /etc/ssh/sshd_config (I assume on server side)
4. how did you start your X server on windows?
5. how did you connect to your RH server?
6. what do you want to start (and how)
7. where and how did you set the variable DISPLAY?
