About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Host is down or Host is unreachable

When starting an X-Win32 rexec or rsh session to connect to your Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, or Linux machine, you may receive one of the errors below.

rexec and rsh local errors

  • Host is down
  • Host is unreachable

    Either of these errors indicate that X-Win32 cannot contact the remote machine. It is possible that the connection is being blocked by a firewall, but more likely the machine is simply powered off or is not currently accepting rexec or rsh connections. Check that the machine is on and that inetd is configured to allow rexec or rsh connections (depending on the type of your session).
