Hello,
This is my issue, my remote machine (CentOS 6.3, hosted in Azure windows environment) has an application that I need to test on my local box (CentOS 6.4, a laptop behind a router).
Now, this is what I'm doing and the issue that I'm encountering: Local: $ xhost + $ ssh -X someusername@somehostname.net -p 49283
Remote: $ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.6:0.0 $ xclock
... and nothing, it just sits there and no xclock shows up :( . I'm fairly convinced that this is due to my router, but I don't know how to deal with it. Any ideas? Am I way off in my guess?

Several thoughts, immediately: is the firewall open for it? Does the /etc/ssh/sshd_config have X11 forwarding enabled?
mark, rounding up the usual suspects
You mean on the remote machine, yes?

Not that it matters too much, they both have that set.

Why are you doing this? If ssh isn't setting the DISPLAY variable to something like localhost:10.0 then sshd isn't configured to tunnel X, you're missing libraries, or something else.
The whole point of "-X" is that it tells ssh to tunnel X traffic back to your machine.
So all you should need to do is ssh -X user@host -p 49283 xclock
Or ssh -Y user@host -p 49283 xclock

I don't believe you need to export DISPLAY, it should already be set by virtue of using -X. Try omitting the export below and just run xclock. That ought to work.
When you log in, what does set|grep DISP output?I always get the following output: DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
And all my GUI apps end up on my local desktop!

you also don't need the host +, as that opens your xserver up to any connection from anywhere. when you use ssh tunnels, the connections appear to be from localhost.
Hi, sorry for the very long response, but to answer your question, set | grep DISP outputs nothing. I still can't get the display to output.
This is what happens when I try to export firefox: $ ssh someuser@somehostname.net firefox someuser@somehostname.net's password: Error: no display specified $ ssh -X someuser@somehostname.net firefox someuser@somehostname.net's password: Error: no display specified $ ssh -Y someuser@somehostname.net firefox someuser@somehostname.net's password: Error: no display specified

Have you installed xorg-x11-xauth ?
