Ping yourself and find out what your IP address is (or run netstat, etc....) say your IP is 122.33.22.126
now, on the server window type in: export DISPLAY=122.33.22.126:0.0 Then, you need to make sure you are able to run an X session, so find xclock and run it. If you get a clock up in your X session, you are pretty much ready to run the UI. If you get a connection refused message you will need to talk to your Unix admin about being able to run an X session from your client. RF Robert G.
