I'm trying to connect to my linux server but I'm having some major problems. The server had OEL 5 installed and my local pc is running Windows XP. I'm using PuTTy to connect to the server with Xming running on my loacl machine. I login as root and run the following command -

export DISPLAY={ipaddress}:0.0

I then run xclock and get the following error -

Xlib: connection to "{ipaddress}:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: {ipaddress}:0.0

The strange thing is that on my bosses pc (who has got almost the exact same setup ie. PuTTy & Xming) is works perfectly.

Please help.

Thanx in advance.

Have you enabled X-forwarding on your server?
You do that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes

Yep. Like I said, works perfectly on my bosses pc but not on mine.
