how to remote solaris from windows?
 
hi friends.
i want to remote solaris workstation from windows client. who can help me?
i was using X-win32. it was working successfully. but because of some bugs i am going to replace it with another option. please suggest me a good product.
notice that i cant install applications on solaris. for example exceed on demand requires server installation on solaris side, but x-win32 worked simply without any server.
with program i can use in this regard?

You can use reflection-x

Xming seems to be popular amongst the free and open source solutions.

hi. thanks for reply. i downloaded this program. but i can't use it for remote solaris station from my windows. i think that this application is created for X server installation and running on windows. and capability of remote X is not main advantage of this project. so i prefer to use specialized program like xwin32. please beware me, if i am mistake.

Can you please explain more precisely what you want to achieve ?

i.e. what you mean by "remote solaris station from windows client".

ok.
read this short story please :)
i am working in industrial automation company and use solaris for creating and maintaining databases and maps. but only one solaris system exist in our company. i and my competitor want to work with it, simultaneously. so i think that remote access to the solaris from other windows workstations is the best way.
i use a program that named "dfpaint" to create power dispatching maps. when i use xwin32 to run this program several problems occurred. for example text modifying disabled and pop up windows not displayed. so i am going to use another application that be simple to use, such as xwin32.

So you are looking for an X11 server running on Windows to display X11 clients running on Solaris.
xwin32 fails for some reason. Xming is a similar program than xwin32. There is no reason for you not to try it.

hi. thanks for reply
i tried this, too. but i couldn't use it, properly. i was looking for perfect manual that explain Xming configurations, but i couldn't find. please guide me to best resources.:confused:

also i tried microimage MI/X program and remote session created successfully, but when i run dfpaint( specific program for maps) it crashes. i think that MI/X not supports openGL.:mad:

also i tried suse but when i run "X xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" it prompts an error and failed to connect. during session establishing, dri goes to disable mode and session terminated. i think that graphic chipset of motherboard has not compatible driver with dri package. is my guess true ?:confused::mad:

please help me.:cry:

Sun Secure Global Desktop?

Not free, but very reasonably priced for a license. Works from any Java enabled device too!

a.toraby 09-30-2007 02:49 PM

is XWinLogon another useful application?

a.toraby 10-21-2007 08:08 AM

i have researched about all options in this regard.:study: and this is result of my research::)

X-win32

Cygwin/X

XconnectPRO

Exceed

MKS

Winaxe

MI/X

are the best choices notice that x-win32 and xconnectpro are the best of bests :p

Why isn't Sun Secure Global Desktop (formerly Tarentella) on your list ?

i reflected that secure Global Desktop is not compatible with other linux distros and that is not attractived, because of performance and price. exceed is cheaper than SGD, but have good features that is not available in SGD

IIRC, SSGD has versions for RHEL and SEL.
