Running Xwindows on remote machine through firewall using VPN

Asked by cs76737 in IPSec Security Protocol, X-Windows Window Manager, Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: , , ,

I have a Suse 10.2 machine running on my company's network.  I access the company's network using Cisco VPN client from my Windows based computer at home.  I use Putty (ssh client) and Xming (free xhost server) on my computer at home.  

I want to run x-windows applications on my work computer and display them on my home computer.  Here is what I do (1) VPN into corporate network (2) use PUTTY to ssh into machine (3) load Xming and disable access control (4) run "export DISPLAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:0.0  (5) then I run "xemacs test.xt".  

The windows never appears on my home computer, and there are no error message .  I do not have this problem when I use a Linux machine on my home network.  Any suggestions?  I have a feeling it has something to do with VPN.
