i have a red hat open ssh server with x11 fowarding enabled, atm i use putty to connect using the ssh, does anyone have much windows experience with x11 cos i have no idea where to go from here, i'm still currently researching but most of the articles i find either aren't for windows or are a bit confusing...
thanx ppl

I haven't done this exactly, but I find that if you install xvncviewer you can simply run VNC Viewer on Windows.

If you want to actually launch programs on Windows and put them onto that X Server, you could install them with Cygwin and use
DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:y <program name>
where x is your IP and y the display number (probably 0).

From the horse's mouth (PuTTY site).

well heres the thing i want what ever it is to be bortable so i connected to the server with x11 enabled and i got what it said i shoud get on the putty website:
fred@unixbox:~$ echo $DISPLAY
unixbox:10.0

i don't want to install stuff on the linux box i just need to run an internet browser from it so i can install vbulletin

some one want to explain
?

if all you need is a web browser, just run lynx or links in PuTTY

wait.. why do you need to open a web browser on the server to install vb?

yes because the link is activated via a java applet to stop unauthorised people downloading it

and i don't just need a web browser that would download it from the server to my computer without saving it on the server

cos i wanted to download them cos my download speed is slow means the files get sent through a slow connection and back up from a slow connection but i've done it now anyway
