(I am a The Xconnections file "manages the outgoing remote displays". The file should look something like this: Display_Name Host_Name NetSpec This will allow the clients on your host machine to connect to the specified "Display_Name" on the specified remote "Host_Name" using the specified network type "NetSpec". You probably have tcp/ip installed, in which case you need NetSpec = tcp. You could also use "*" for the Display_Name and Host_Name fields in which case it will direct "ALL" connection requests to use the specified network type. --enjoy-- -Jigish
