Re: Cannot access Sun server via VNC
Hello again,
Following your reply below, I entered:
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 ssh -Y userid@sunhost
and then entered the password for userid.
Then I received the following messages:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
tput: unknown terminal "cygwin"
tput: unknown terminal "cygwin"
tput: unknown terminal "cygwin"
Eventually I started the graphical application in the Sun host, and got
the following messages:
connect localhost port 6000: Connection refused
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or serever shutdown).
Shall I set the terminal type to something else ?
May the refused connection on port 6000 be caused by a firewall setting ?
Regards,
Marek

Any hints ?
It seems you're out of luck. XDMCP is a strange protocol and esp.
network address translation (as used with VPN) will complicate
the process. You'll have to use ssh with X11Forwarding
