To Run Discovery Visualization Environment (DVE) on
Windows
To run DVE on windows we need to have
1) A windows based PC
2) An SSH client
3) Xming X server
Installing SSH Client:
We shall go with Putty,
PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for
the Windows platform. PuTTY is open source software that is available with
source code and is developed and supported by a group of volunteers.
You can download putty here
Installing Putty:
1) Make sure you have upgraded to Service Pack 2 (SP2) if running
Windows XP.
2) You will see the following intro screen. Click [Next].

3) The default installation location is recommended. Click [Next]
4) The Start Menu folder is simply the name of the sub directory under

PuTTY SSH easier to access. The following option set is reasonable.

previous steps, click [Install].

Tips For Putty
TIP 1: To avoid re-entering your preferences each time you connect to a
machine, you can save your settings in a specific session, or to have the
settings available at all times and applied to all future sessions by default,
save your settings to "Default Settings" session. To do this, in the
"Session" configuration window, type "Default Settings" into the "Saved
Sessions" field, and click [Save]:

TIP 2: To save a session to a specific host, enter the host name in the
"Host Name" field, then name the session using the "Saved Sessions"
field, and click [Save]:
