best way to access ubuntu (X) from windows
I need a working x-server for win (vista+win7) to access my ubuntu machines.
The machines have sshd (OpenSSH) installed and working (I can access each server from the others and I can launch X programs over the tunnel).
I have PuTTY installed on the win (vista) machine and I can access the servers in terminal mode.
I also installed certificates so I do not need passwords.
So far so good.
I tried Xming and VcXsrv, but I cannot connect to the servers.
The server starts, some time passes and finally a box appears stating I cannot connect to server.
No further explanation.
I tried following the instructions (for XMing, I didn't find any documentation for VcXsrv!)), but obviously I'm doing something wrong and I cannot understand what.
Can some kind soul point me to a *sure* and *verified* procedure to display a nice xterm on a win machine?
Thanks a lot in advance
