Both the client and the Xserver are running Linux. I am on an intranet,
where I am connected to a Win2k server. I go online through the win
machine. And traffic is re-routed thataway to me. I want to connect to
the linux x server.
The win2k box is just a router.
Is that possible(getting x up on my machine)? This is about as best I can
explain it.

That is what I did do, but it doesn't work because of the rerouting bit.
I am on a local internet, therefore my ipnumber (thus the server name is
not recognised) is of a class c network:
i.e 192.168.0.2

That would be the client program for networking (for windows).

Real programmers do not comment their code. If it was hard to write, it
should be hard to understand.
