Using the ICA client in Linux,
which you can follow to set up the connection to the SCD Citrix
server, but his instructions won't tell you to turn on the
Properites->Connection->Use Data Compression
button and turn off the
Properites->Connection->Enable Sound
button. The former just makes Citrix faster, but the latter is
crucial. If you have Enable Sound set and
you're playing Internet radio via xmms when you start Citrix,
Citrix will hang. Te client will connect to the server and
display blue main window, but before displaying the "Metaframe"
splash box. It'll just sit there with a blank blue screen,
forever.
If you have problems connecting to the server, it may be because your system won't allow the server's packets to reach the client. See the ipchains web page.
Once you've configured Citrix with wfcmgr, you'll typically run it with "wfica", which starts it without making you select a server.
To change size of the window that Citrix displays, get out of Citrix and run wfcmgr. Highlight echo.scd.ucar.edu and click on the Properties button (the picture with the hand pointing to a page). Select Window and then unselect the Use Defaults button. Then you can selectFixed Size.
To look at a Word attachment from a mail message,
scp the .doc file
to netserver. On proteus, use the
wfcmgr command to start Citrix.
Double-click on ECHO. If a window appears and
immediately disappears, double-click on ECHO
again. You may need to do this a few times to get it to work.
Log in as siemsen. Double-click on
My Network Places. Double-click on
siemsen on netserver. Then click on
the file to open it.
