5736.2Can't open displayZAPATA::DALLAVOG.Alfredo Dall'Avo DC-Milan ItalyMon Jan 27 1997 11:1632

	A customer is trying to open a remote display on a
	AlphaStation 200 running VMS 6.2 with DWMOTIF V1.2-4
	from an AlphaStation running Digital UNIX V4.0b.

	I'm tying to help him.
	We became using the security dialog of the style manager
	adding 
	TCPIP * *   			and also 
	TCPIP nodename username, 
	TCP nodename *,
	tcpip * *,
	TCP-IP * *,
	.....

	We changed the *hostList resource into the dt.resources file.
	we used the file located into the [.home] directory and also
	the file located into the [.current] directory, ....

	Always we got a "Can't open display: x.y.w.z:0.0 " error.

	On the other hand if we delete all *hostList resource lines
	we could ever open a display using DECNET transport.

	Anyone knows an explanation for that behaviour?

	Thanks.

5736.3Server may not have TCPIP enabledDECWIN::STEFANELLIGreat googaly moogalyMon Jan 27 1997 13:3714
Are you sure that TCP/IP transport is enabled for the target
display server?  Do :

	SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS

If TCPIP is not listed, you need to add it via the file
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.  Add the line:

	$ decw$server_transports == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP"

If it was truly a security problem, it would something like
"Client refused by server...".
