Hello.
I have a Debian 3.0 box, and W2k box.
I start an xwin session on my W2K box like so:
xwin -query 192.168.0.2 (this is the address of the linux box).
I find that I get my nice kde login window only while my W2K internet
connection is active. Once I can see the KDE login screen I can saftly
disconnect from the internet. Both my computers are on my LAN so I see no
reason why I need to be on the internet. Can anybody explain?!
For bonus points: xwin -fullscreen brings up an x-windows server on my
primary display. I have a secondary display which I would prefer to use.
As a workaround for now I am using windowed mode and dragging the window
onto my secondary monitor.
Any help much appreciated,
TK
