Heres the setup: Windows Box = 192.168.1.3 FreeBSD Box = 192.168.1.2 Router = 192.168.1.1 In sshd-config, I have: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 The Xserver is started with -listen-tcp and echo $DISPLAY shows :0.0 Going to the win box, and using putty, I ssh to the FreeBSD Box ( I see no config option in putty so I assume it does X forwarding by Default ), and type: xterm & I get: Cannot connect to XServer If I do: export DISPLAY=192.168.1.3:0.0 and do: xterm & xterm starts, but on the FreeBSD Box. I know its insecure, but I also did: xhost +192.168.1.3 and it still dosent work.
