Re: dsm failed to start for system behind firewall

Mr Welsh,

when trying to run X remotely you have do this.
A = ip of machine running Xwin
B = ip of machine you're trying to run remote X app on.

on machine A type "xhost +B"

Now, that's not to say that the firewall isn't stopping it as well, but
it's at least a place to begin.

Enjoy!
