Following is my setup.

FreeBSD box without monitor. Win2000 box with X-server running Xdmcp. So =
I get a full screen xdm session on this win2000 box -> awesome

FreeBSD box is setup as LAN ip 10.0.0.1 and acts as gateway (natd =
-pppoa) to internet. I receive my internet ip address via DHCP. Win2000 =
box goes out to internet via 10.0.0.1.

Now my question is the following. How can I get a xterm session from a =
system on the internet (actually VPN) to display on the win2000 box.=20
A "setenv DISPLAY "ip address of tun0" doesn't work since it will try to =
start the xsession on the FreeBSD box instead of the win2000 box.
Is it possible to do this with a redirect - if so, what port is used for =
x-term sessions?
How can I get this x-session to show up on my win2000 box?

I hope this is clear, if not let me know and I'll try to clarify it.
Thanks in advance,

Alain
