In order to get pass the 2GByte Virtual Memory Limit of a 32 bits Windows XP system, we Installed ProEng Wildfire on a SGI Origin hoping to use a Windows XP system with Exceed and Exceed 3D as a front End Terminal.

Upon Starting ProEng we get a message to the effect that OPENGL is not available and that X-Window will be used instead. We also tried a Linux and genuine SGI Workstation as the remote workstation with the same result.

Is OPENGL across the network supported by ProEng ?

If you are using a remote X Display on a PC. The PC is the graphics server and the SGI is the graphics client. IIRC this means that the X implementation on your Windows or Linux system has to be able to accept OpenGL calls. If it doesn't the SGI can't use OpenGL.
