Can you make a remote connection in Solaris 7 unix appear to be local?

Based on your comments, it sounds like the equipment might be checking the source address of a connection to see whether you are considered "local". If you're connecting from localhost then the connection is considered local.

Based on your comments, it sounds like the equipment might be checking the source address of a connection to see whether you are considered "local". If you're connecting from localhost, then the connection is considered local. The solution is to make a connection from localhost!

Telnet into the server box. This creates a connection from your Windows box to the server. Telnet from the server back into itself (telnet localhost).

This creates a new connection that looks like it's local. Set up whatever DISPLAY environment variable you need to display X stuff on your Windows box.

Does not work. It uses the DISPLAY variable. So even if I got that to a local machine DISPLAY is still my windows box – Paul Apr 20 at 2:20 So it will display locally if I set it to loaclhost:0.0 but that does not help me remotely.

– Paul Apr 20 at 2:25 It is like I need it to be at both places at once in that I can access the gui in both but the DISPLAY var needs to be localhost. Is that possible? – Paul Apr 20 at 2:59 @Paul: I see.In that case, you can use something like datapipe to set up a simple tunnel between your server and your Windows box.

Start a datapipe tunnel from say, port 6001 on the server to 6000 on your Windows box. Then set DISPLAY=localhost:1 to point to port 6001 instead of the default 6000, so that the X connection will go through the local datapipe on the way to Windows.(If you could use ssh you could tunnel through that, but since you can't you'll have to use something else like datapipe.) – Greg Hewgill Apr 20 at 4:42 The X11 forwarding feature of ssh will set your DISPLAY to a local address like localhost:10 and then redirect that to the remote X server on the machine you ssh from. – alanc Apr 20 at 15:26.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
