See your X-server documentation how you can change the access
control. Usually X servers accept connections originating from the same
machine you're running it (localhost) but not from anywhere else.
On Unix you could try
xhost +
command to disable access control and allow connections from everywhere.
Try something similar -- as a test -- with your X server.
HOWEVER! Do not leave access control disabled for your normal
use. Otherwise anyone could connect your X server and give any commands,
maybe opening a terminal window and sending d, e, l, , c, :, \, *, ., *
keypresses.
