[For those who don't know, I bought my box from Stephen who set it up]
So, you think I should "ssh" into Linux, and then run Mix (the X Server)?
Where do I download a windows "ssh" client?
TIA,
Lee

Lee, I don't know if you wiped pmfirewall off your box, but it was there
before, and I set it to not allow telnet.
You can turn it off with "/usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall stop" if that's
the
case. Security people will tell you that telnet == bad.
There's a great tutorial on ssh at mandrakeuser.org in the security section.
