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 at 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?
