Does the other host have NEWSSERVER set up to point back to your
machine?  This will happen automatically if you use the `on` remote
execution command.  If you're not you must set up NEWSSERVER to point to
your machine -- see setnewsserver(1).

If NEWSHOME is set up, then if you're running NeWS1.1, you're probably
getting a
	Network security violation:
pop-up.  You must either use $NEWSHOME/bin/newshost to add the remote
host to the RemoteHostRegistry dictionary, or run `newshost disable` to
disable the security checking.  See the newshost(1) man page.

It may also be a problem if you are running the server on a reserved
socket.  Normally the NeWS 1.1 server tries to listen on socket 144;
this will probably fail if it isn't running as root, and it will try
on socket 2000.  You may have some kind of mismatch.

See p. 8 of the NeWS 1.1 Release Notes for more information on both
topics.

Once you get this working to your friend's computer,
