Can't Open Display localhost:0.0

user574431Mar 31 2011 — edited Apr 4 2011
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.
