First, either the system which is running the X server must have a
valid IP address, or you will have to set up some kind of port
forwarder on the firewall.
Second, X servers normally have to be told who can connect to them
(you don't want some random hacker connecting to your X server and
reading what's on your screen or what you are typing).
