From your internet browser go to www.starnet.com
Click Micro X-Win32
For Windows 95 users
download x-win40.exe
For Windows 3.1 or 3.11 users
download Win32s 1.30
and xdemo32.zip
To obtain a copy of Winzip, there is a link on this page
Install the program(s)
To start an X-Windows/X-Terminal session
I have tried these instructions on Windows 95 only. Windows 3.1 & 3.11 users proceed with caution.
Start a WiscWorld session by clicking the appropriate icon
Find the X-Win32 icon and click to open it in the background
(since this is a demo version, you can only use it in two hour increments)
Open Telnet from the WiscWorld group
In the Hostname or IP box type:
tornado.meteor.wisc.edu
Click OK
Log onto tornado
For the next step you will need the IP address that WiscWorld just
assigned to your computer. This is different for each session you
start.
Click the Start button
Programs
Accessories
Dial-Up Networking
If a Welcome window pops up just hit cancel
RIGHT click once on the icon you just used to start your WiscWorld
session
Click Properties
Click the Server Types tab
Click TCP/IP Settings...
Your current IP address is at the top
It should start like this: 144.92.???.???
Write it down
Cancel out of all the open Dial-Up windows
At the tornado prompt type the following:
xterm -ls -display #####:0 &
where ##### is your IP address
hit enter
In a few moments a separate 'xterm' window should pop up already logged
into tornado
You can go back to the Telnet window and close it
If it asks if you wish to disconnect from tornado click YES
It will not effect the 'xterm' window
You should now be able to do everything that you were able to do at
the computer lab
HAPPY COMPUTING!!!
