Need help with Exceed/Xterm parameters

[surfking]

For quite some time at the office I used an xterm session started by
Exceed to connect to a UNIX box on the company network. My PC was a
Windows XP system and I was connecting to A Solaris system.

Now I have moved to a different group and I have a new PC. However
before I moved I saved a copy of the .XS file I used to start my
Exceed/Xterm sessions. So I copied my saved .XS file to the desktop of
my new PC, and began editing its settings to what was appropriate for
the new UNIX box. However, I have one problem; what value do I use for
the "-display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0" parameter ? As I recall the value I
used on my previous PC was not the IP address of my PC ! Anyway I tried
using the IP address of my PC, but I was unable to start an xterm
session. The UNIX system I am attempting to connect to is HP-UX version
B.11.11.

I have done some searching with Google and the newsgroups and nothing
has turned up yet.

So the BIG question is what ip address should be specified for the
"-display" parameter in the setting within the .XS file ?

TIA for all your help.

For starters, you could clickup a CMD terminal and do a
ipconfig /all to get/use the pc's ip address.
Once you get into the UNIX box, you could do a netstat -ta to see the
name or do a nslookup pc's_ip_addy_here to get the name for the pc as
seen from the UNIX box or do a
ps -fu ${LOGNAME} | grep "eXceed login" | grep -v grep

That name is what you could use as the -disp value:0

If I remember Exceed right, you use a 2 character symbol to
represent $DISPLAY you don't need to hard code the
IP address. It's been too long for me to remember
the symbol though.

Same here. The problem I ran into, when I used the symbol, was the
canonical result as seen in our M$ network was not the same as it was
on the UNIX network. :(

Ip address is a poor choice because it can change.
