In such cases the server runs on your PC, the client is the app you are running. I know it sounds backward but that's the case. Are you sure you have enough bandwidth? Try running something simple like xterm. Also X11 forwarding might have been turned off in sshd_config. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org
