Display Error to run XWindow through Putty

885068Sep 15 2011 — edited Feb 4 2012
Hello Gurus,

I am having a problem to run a GUI/Xwindow through putty. I use a SSH connection and *" X11 forwarding in putty SSH configuration is ENABLED"*. IN putty I log into the host using username/passwd and I am an oracle user.
I type the following command in putty
-> DISPLAY=owwrrt1611:0.0 {which is the value in the X display location in the Putty Configuration Window}
-> export DISPLAY
->xclock
Error: Can't open display: owwrrt1611:0.0

The Xwindow I use is CygwinX and I am not sure what the problem is as the display location is exported the GUI should come up.

Please tell me what I am missing. Thanks.
