press Ok. You might have to grant access to the client if you have a firewall. In addition
it might create a fingerprint for your system. Accept it.

indicates that you have successfully logged on to the grid server.

This step might give you some trouble. In order to get the display on your computer you have
to export your IP. If you dont do this you end up with this error. It says

ON-CAMPUS REMOTE ACCESS:
Once you are connected to the ufw network. Get your LOCAL IP.
1) To get your LOCAL IP
Goto Start->Run and press cmd. This screen will appear.

Now type ipconfig. You will get your local IP.

After you get your LOCAL IP (10.30.101.206) use the following command to export your Display
setting.
export DISPLAY=LOCALIP:0 Eg: export DISPLAY=10.30.101.206:0

OFF CAMPUS REMOTE ACCESS:
Procedure 1: If you are behind a Router
1: Determine the IP address of your Router (OUTSIDEIP)
You can use www.whatismyip.com to determine your OUTSIDEIP
2: Determine the LOCALIP address of your machine.
Goto Start->Run and press cmd. This screen will appear.

Now type ipconfig. You will get your local IP.

3: Configure your router to send Port 6000/TCP to LOCALIP
To do this, you'll need to set your computer to a static IPaddress and then enable port
forwarding for port 6000 to that static IP address in your router.There are guides for most
routers at http://www.portforward.com/guides.htm that explain how to setup port
forwarding.If your computer is directly connected to your cable/DSL modem, no port
forwarding is necessary.

4: Now you export DISPLAY=OUTSIDEIP:0
