xhost +<ipaddress of machine A> is required at the target machine where u want ur display

then set ur display from a machine A to that of the target machine

and then try if xmessage runs on the target machine and then try out for other applications too

Thanbks buddy.. I figured it out.. Actually I need some kind of Xserver running on my PC. I ran Exceed and after that it worked fine..

Thanks again..
