[expert] Running an X app from remote host

[stephen boulet]

I'm trying to run an X app from a remote box locally.

Here are my steps:

1) xhost +remote-host-ip
2) telnet to remote-host-ip
3) export DISPLAY = local-host-ip

Then, when I try running kmail: kmail: cannot connect to X server local-host-ip

What might I be doing wrong?
