Here is an xproblem for you xgurus out there:

I am logged on to a machine A (a Sun running X windows). I need to connect
to a machine B from A. On B I have a process running and this process
will display images on the server A.

My problem is that I am unable to log into B directly from A. However,
I can log into B indirectly through another machine C (that is, from A
log on to C, and from C log on to B). But this causes problems since
machine B now cannot connect directly to A for displaying the images.

My question: Is there anyway of informing machine B that A can be
reached through C? Machine C happens to be a VAX in my case - would this
make a difference?

I would appreciate any help. Please email responses to the address given
above.

Ravi
