How does this work with a router? DukeEgr93 16:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- See the main PuTTY page, specifically with respect to setting up tunneling. Even if you are on a router, the tunneling will take care of getting the information to the right machine. DukeEgr93 21:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

What does PuTTY stand for? DukeEgr93 18:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I keep getting a "QApplication::notify: Unexpected null receiver" message whenever I type the "kdvi lab1.dvi" command, which then allows me to type, yet none of the commands (besides "Ctrl C") will work. Thus, I am going back and forth, looking at what the previous command did, then having to exit out of the viewing window to run another code. To view again, I have to rerun the kdvi command. Is there something else I can do so that I don't have to go back and forth? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rebsterjcfreak (talk • contribs)
- First, make sure you have the & after the kdvi lab1.dvi part so you still have control over the terminal. Second, with respect to the null receiver issue - that will happen on occasion. Just wait a bit for it to go away and the kdvi window will come up. If you made sure to add the & to it, you can now re-run latex lab1.tex and, when done processing, the kdvi window will update as well. DukeEgr93 15:26, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

I keep having PuTTY crash with a 'PuTTY Fatal Error' - 'Network Error: Software caused connection abort' whenever I run matlab. The program starts up fine and is slow but usable until it crashes. Any idea what is wrong? Nag9 10:32, 7 September 2009 (EDT)nag9
- Sounds like the infmaous "MATLAB Refuses to be alone" problem - try the xterm works; MATLAB crashes solution on the Xwin page. DukeEgr93 11:19, 7 September 2009 (EDT)
