Connecting to Xwindows server on another machine

[Carty]

I have Mandrake 8.1 with KDE running on a laptop. How can I connect to an Xwindows server on another computer? I want to use my Linux laptop as an Xwindows terminal to a Solaris box on the network.

telnet or rsh to the remote machine and run your command -display yourip:0 works with some programs, some you dont have to do the -display and some (like netscape) you just telnet in and run it and it shoots the window back to you. Just make sure that you do xhost remote_hostname on your local_hostname so that the remote machine can connect back to your local xserver. All this works for me and I promise nothing ;-) but it should be no problem
