| Just a guess...

| You didn't mention what transport you are trying to use.
| The default transport for the VMS  SET DISPLAY command is
| usually DECNET, and unless your Iris is running Decnet
| the connection will be refused.  [To see the transport
| method, type SHOW DISPLAY].

Even if it *is* running the Decnet product (we call it 4DDN),
it won't work using Decnet as the transport.  We don't support
X over Decnet (not enough demand to justify the effort, although
there is a definite demand).

| If you have Multinet or UCX or some other TCPIP running on
| your VAX, you can try:
|   SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=.../TRANSPORT=TCPIP
| Your DECWindows installation may also have to be configured to
| support this transport method.
