On your local workstation, you should do:

xhost +remote

Where remote is either the hostname (should be possible to lookup)
or IP Address (to make sure it will work).

Uncomment and set to "false".

You should set those value on your local workstation (console),
not the remote one. This is the workstation you call MYHOSTNAME.

You might also want to access MYHOSTNAME:0.0, not 1.0.
