Hi,

I am able to login to the vulcan.ece.iit.edu server but when I follow 
the setup explained in the document, I am not able to open any 
application such as opnet.  Here's my setup.

In the router, I used virtual server to do forwarding.  Could anyone 
help me to check if I am doing the correct setup for the router?  
Thanks.

Name         : XWin
Private IP   : My local computer IP address in the ipconfig command
Protocol Type:   Both  
Private Port :   6000
Public Port  :   6000
 
Schedule     :  Always 

In the terminal, I typing the following commands.  

>source /usr/local/cshrc/opnet 
>setenv DISPLAY IPaddress of my router(LAN):0.0

open XWin application and then type

>opnet

After couple minutes, it give me the following error message.

<<< Program Abort >>>
  * Time:      22:29:40 Mon Jan 31 2005

Regards,
Tommy
