The following line needs to be added to the /etc/services file: xserver0 6000/tcp This is a transport independent network selection facility supported in SVR4. This allows applications to find info about transport providers on the machine and to establish connections. If the transport provider changes over time, the application run without change. This facility is also used to establish connections over serverl transport providers at once. If the host provides more than one transport provider, the application can establish connections over any one of the transport providers dynamically at runtime. (For more info refer to the SVR4 manuals) An optional environmental variable, NETPATH, can be specified to indicate the prefered transport provider to use (e.g. NETPATH=npack:tcp:starlan). In this case, NETPATH=tcp (Note, Peter Yeung has his connection working already. Hope this might be a help to others.)
