Does anyone know how to set DISPLAY between
win2k and Unix (or Linux)?

I used ssh (putty.exe or F-ssh.exe) in win2k
to login Unix workstations, but I was not able to set the DISPLAY correctly. Whenever I type "netscape" or any other programs that require a correct DISPLAY, I got error message: " error: Can't open display "

I did not find the answer by google search.
One posted message suggested:
setenv DISPLAY {local_IP}:0.0
where local_IP is the IP address of my PC.
But this method did not work.

Does anyone has a working solution?
