Solve Connection Problem

Even if the steps listed above are followed, connection with a remote host may not be successful according to user environments. This section briefly introduces the methods to solve connection-related problems.

To Solve XDMCP Connection Problem:

1. Check the following:
   • Is dtlogin, kdm, gdm, lightdm, or xdm being executed in the remote host?
   • Is a login window displayed?
   • Is the remote host in another network?
   • Is there a firewall in between the remote host and user's PC?
   • Is a firewall set in the user's PC?
   • User's PC address may be incorrectly set in the name server.
   • DISPLAY variables may be configured in the user account shell script.
2. Refer to the log message.
   • To view an Xmanager log file, point to [Log] in the Xmanager server main window system menu and select [File].
   • If a login screen is not displayed in the CDE environment, check /var/dt/Xerrors file. If login fails, check $HOME/.dt/startlog and $HOME/.dt/errorlog files.

• Note
  For details on log files, see 'Session Log'.

To Solve Xstart Connection Problems:

1. Run Xstart.
2. Select [Show connection status window].
3. Click [Run]. The Xrcmd: Remote execution result window opens.
4. Read the message and identify causes of the problem.

• Note
  The Remote execution result window is a message window showing the connection progress status. A simple command input is possible. However, there are many restrictions in performing tasks, such as terminal emulation. This window only shows the process until a program including an execution command starts, which is Xstart's objective.
