I have been trying to install IBM DB2 10.5.0.1 on AIX 7.1.0.0 from a Windows 8-64bit using a Remote connection. It has been 3 days and I haven't been able to succeed; Here is a list of everything I've done so far: 1. I have installed Putty on my Local Machine ( win-8, 64 bit) 2. I have installed Xming 3. I even installed Cygwin ---------- I keep receiving the following error message after several unsuccessful trys to install the DB on the remote machine: > (The Tools) command-line, telnet, and relogin client have stopped > working. **Additional Information**: The Database file is zipped using tar format and I have already untarred it, and I want to attempt an install using the db2setup command, which as far as I understand starts the Installer Wizard. **Connection Setup** I disabled my firewall, and am only connected to the remote AIX Server through my LAN. My LAN is also not connected to the internet. ---------- I tried to run the following commands: xclock and Xming separately from the command line of Putty and Cygwin. The result was an error. I also tried to export the display with the command : DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0; export DISPLAY DISPLAY=datapc:0.0; export DISPLAY DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY After I tried once and the installation failed, I kept trying while adding new troubleshooting, and kept failing. I am ready to start with a clean slate, so instead of trying to repair what I've done already, I'm looking for help from all of you regarding the BEST method. Id appreciate that!! Thanks a lot !!
