Hmmm... Would it be 'localhost' or the IP address of the MacOS X machine?

[tigger:~] jem% setenv
...
DISPLAY=localhost:0
...

I have the DISPLAY variable set in my .cshrc file, but could the
'localhost:0' be the problem?

I tried:

[tigger:~] jem% setenv DISPLAY 192.168.0.2:0
[tigger:~] jem% ssh -X -C [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[ ... Welcome message ... ]

jeremy@simba:~$ xcalc
Error: Can't open display:

Hrmmm... Any ideas?

Thanks!
