Hi All,

I am connecting to a LINUX box using putty from a windows box(ssh connection).

I have Xming installed in my machine..my aim is to have GUI for linux.

then i have exported the display like below.

export DISPLAY=my windows machineip:0.0

Next step is in the linux box i ll execute a script which will pop up a configuration window.

Here i am getting the config window or wizard but the problem is ..... its too slow and finally it is getting stuck. (browsing the popped up window is very slow..)

Can anyone tel me why this is happening and how i can tackle this situation.??

In PuTTY do you have 'Enable X11 forwarding' checked. If not, it should be.

When you log in with 'X11 forwarding' you don't have to set DISPLAY. Just echo it and you should see something like 'localhost:10.0'.

If it's still slow, what's the speed of you network connection?
Is it over slow DSL?
