I can't set the DISPLAY variable successfully

Asked by wrimmer in SSH / Telnet Software, Linux Networking

Tags: display, variable, open, set

Ihave installed RH4WS 32 bit and I am having a problem not encountered before.
I have a static IP address of 162.182.8.114
If I "echo $DISPLAY" it returns ":0.0"
If I enter "xterm&" an xterm appears
I set the display to 162.182.8.114:0.0
If I "echo $DISPLAY" it returns "162.182.8.114:0.0"
If I enter "xterm&" I get "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 163.183.8.114:0"
I have tried "xhost +". It makes no difference.
The /etc/hosts file looks like;
127.0.0.1       localhost
162.182.8.114   bslinux
162.182.8.115   billunix
Since I can not specify the DISPLAY successfully, once I ssh or telnet to another machine I can't get an xterm to come up.
Any ideas?
