To access Linux X11 resources - Matlab, Mathematica, Tecplot, Avizo, and COMSOL - from Windows computers, users need to have SSH Secure Shell Client and X-Win32 properly configured. Users will also need VPN client if connecting from off campus.

How to turn on X11 tunneling from SSH Secure Shell Client?

  • Start "SSH Secure Shell Client", go to "Profiles/Edit Profiles".
  • Select the profiles in question and/or Quick Connect, under "Tunneling" tab, check "Tunnel X11 connections".
  • If you start X-Win32 before "SSH Secure Shell Client", all X11 applications will tunnel through X-Win32. Make sure you allow that through the firewalls.

How to enable X-Win32 license (for all users of the computer)?

Ask your system administrator or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for help.

After entering the correct license as username, copy file
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\StarNet\X-Win32\License.config
to folder
C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 9.4.
That will enable all users of the computer to share that license.
