Question Incoming X Connections with xhost + doesn't work in RHEL 4


Two computers with RHEL 4 installed. Try run xclock from computer 1, and display the xclock on computer 2. Here is my procedure,

1. on computer 2 "xhost +"
2. on computer 1 "export DISPLAY=computer2:0"
3. on computer 1 "xclock"

But I don't see xclock display on computer 2. and error message on computer 1 said "can't open display on computer 2". I can do the exactly same thing on RHEL 3 without any problems. Does someone know how to get this work on RHEL 4? It should be some new security reason. Thanks!!!

You may want to check your firewall settings.
