IP address is correct and firewall is also disabled but i have no idea about xwindows server configuration in Solaris because i am new in Solaris
Can you tell me the command or document for configuring xwindows server.

After setting the DISPLAY above from a command prompt type: xclock
If everything is working you should see a clock appear on the monitor.
are you working directly on the solaris machine? or are you telnet/ssh into it from a remote machine?
the "xwindows server" is software that needs to run on whatever machine you are physically looking at, it's the software that puts the windows on your screen.

-bash-3.00$ DISPLAY=10.23.1.9:0.0; export DISPLAY
-bash-3.00$ xclock
-bash: xclock: command not found
I connect with server through putty software. 10.23.1.9 is a remote IP where putty is running.

Sorry I've never used putty so I don't think I'll be much more help. Hopefully sdstuber has.
Dear Thanks for reply,
I have also performed same command on Solaris Server for runnign xclock without using any software but result is same.

I have used putty but I'm not an expert and don't currently use it now; but I'll see what I can do.
When you setup your session, you have to authorize agent forwarding under the SSH->Auth option, then under tunnels make sure the X11 box is checked and put your ip (or localhost) followed by :0 in the address box
does xclock work? if not: xhost +
