Even though you have followed the connection steps correctly, you may fail to connect to a remote host successfully.

This section briefly explains how to solve the connection problem.

1. Check the following:
   • Is a dtlogin, kdm, gdm or xdm running on the remote host?
   • Does the login window open?
   • Is the remote host on a different network?
   • Is there a firewall between your Windows and the remote host?
   • Does your Windows system have a firewall configuration?
   • The name server may have an incorrect entry for your PC.
   • The DISPLAY variable is configured incorrectly on your shell script.
2. See log messages.
   • To see Xmanager log files, click the system menu on Xmanager main window, point to Log, and then click File.
   • For CDE errors, read /var/dt/Xerrors when you cannot see the login window. Read $HOME/.dt/startlog and $HOME/.dt/errorlog when you failed to login.

1. Run Xstart.
2. Select Show status dialog box.
3. Select Show reply messages.
4. Click Run. RESULT: A Reply Messages dialog box opens.
5. Read the reply messages to find the reason of the problem.
