Ok,

I've two PCs, one with Windows XP Pro and the other with Noppix Linux on it. I need to set up a remote control session between the two.

Now, using pcAnywhere, I can control the Windows PC with the one running Noppix, however, we can't use it the other way round.

Has anyone successfully managed to do what I've mentioned, if so, HOW?!

many thanks

Greg
 
there's a program called Exceed you can use I think - That's what our uni has, but I've never used it.

edit: Wikipedia says there are free alternatives called
* Cygwin/X
* Xming

Cygwin is free whereas Exceed is not. Just install Cygwin and the XServer and you're ready to go :)

You can get a full screen session with xdmcp by way of:

xwin -query <remote ip>

alternatively, SSH should allow you to open stuff locally on your Xserver if X11 forwarding is enabled in sshd_config. Start your Xserver with startxwin I think. Failing SSH just set the DISPLAY variable on the unix box to your local machine running the Xserver (ie: export DISPLAY=192.168.10.1:0.0) and run whatever command you like.

I use the xdmcp method to manage my sun boxes upstairs and it works a treat :) Was a bit of a sod to get working after JASS but hey..
