I have been troubleshooting a problem I have notice with cygwin. ...
Now my question:
When I run cygwin with the Internet Connection Firewall running I can
connect to our UNIX box but I cannot run the Xwindows
Applications. If I run the following command:
emacs -d lc116052:0.0
Ater about 2 minutes the UNIX box reports "emacs: Cannot connect to X
Server lc116052:0.0. Check the DISPLAY enviroment variable or use
'-d'. Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine."
If I disable the Internet Connection Firewall the emacs command works fine.
I was just wondering if there is another work around besides stopping
the Internet Connection Firewall?
How flexible is the firewall? Any decent one has a way of changing the
rules it applies to what's allowed and what's not. If that's not an
option, get a better firewall.
Thanks for your help
