Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your advice.
I suppose the problem is "I can't get WinXP and LTSP server connected"
Installation of Cygwin (XFree86 selected) went through without complaint
and found
\cygwin\bin\mount.exe
\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat
(Remark: *.xkm files, xfs can't be found)
I carried out following tests
====================
1) copy \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat
edit the line "start XWin -query 192.168.0.254 -once"
(192.168.0.254 is the IP address of LTSP server)
rename and save it as \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startLTSPterm.bat
On WinXP explorer click "startLTSPterm.bat" starting an empty
"Cygwin/XFree86" window
2) Create a new directory \cygwin\CYG-NEW
copy mount.exe, cygwin1.dll, and cygz.dll to \cygwin\CYG-NEW\
create \cygwin\CYG-NEW\CYG.bat
copy
" cd cygwin\CYG-New
rem copy de.xkm %temp%
mount.exe -b %temp% /tmp
..\CYG-New\XWin.exe -query 192.168.0.254 -once"
to \cygwin\CYG-NEW\CYG.bat
On Window Explorer \cygwin\CYG-NEW\ click CYG.bat starting an empty
"Cygwin/XFree86" window
In "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" window showing
The system cannot find the drive specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
mount: /tmp: Mount device busy
3) On WinXP ping 192.168.0.254 and on LTSP server ping 192.168.0.1 showing
they are connected and being connected respectively. But on WinXP
ping server.ltsp (name of LTSP server) and on LTSP ping M40G (name of
WinXP) show no connection.
Any comment? Thanks in advance.
