xrlogin
I am on a Toshiba tecra 8200. Xrlogin doesn't work.
When I open the GUI, I can't put an IP address in Display field. Tabbing cursor goes straight to user name.
I then tried x using terminal as I do on my Mac and as I did on Windows. export DISPLAY says can't find export and setenv DISPLAY goes through but nothing happens. My X app sometimes errors out, sometimes hangs.
I read about turning off firewall but can't find it. I am connecting with vpn tool.
thanks

In unix, you can choose which text command shell you are using. If your shell doesn't understand export DISPLAY, it may be csh or tcsh. In these shells the command is:
setenv DISPLAY {whateverhostname:0.0}
It would be just as easy to change your shell to one which does have the export command:
Change to the bash shell:
bash
Set the DISPLAY variable
export DISPLAY=whateverhostname:0.0
Depending on your unix variant, you can use a graphical user management tool, the usermod command or very carefully edit /usr/passwd to set the default shell to bash, ksh, sh, csh, tcsh or whatever you choose.
