- Open the Xmanager folder on your desktop.
RESULT: The Xmanager folder window opens, as shown in the figure below.
- Double-click Xbrowser. RESULT: The Xbrowser window opens.
Note: Xbrowser finds all Unix/Linux hosts on your local network automatically. If your Unix host is not found on the Xbrowser window, the host is not ready to serve XDMCP connections.
- Double-click the host you want to connect to. RESULT: A graphic login window opens.
Note: If you are not able to get a graphic login window, there may be a firewall between your PC and the remote host.
- To log on to the host, enter your account name and password. RESULT: A remote desktop opens.
Note: If the remote desktop does not open after entering username and password, there may be an error in your login shell scripts.
