Howdy Allen: In your $HOME direcotry, edit the file .xinitrc
In this file somewhere should be a line that says something like: xhost + blablabla. If you have no need for security (in a small home network like mine...) you can just add in: xhost + and and that should solve the problem. I think you may have to be root to run xhost. I'm not sure.
