Do I need an xserver running on my windows box? That may be my problem. If so, could someone suggest one. I did a quick search and I found several that you have to pay for.

I need to enable forward the xWindows through my SSH session, but I'm having trouble. I'm using Putty and I've configured it to allow enable x11 forwarding through the ssh tunnel. I've also edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set X11Forwarding yes. After doing this, it's not working. I'm sure there's quite a bit not doing. Could anybody offer any guidance? This is my first attempt to do this.
Todd-
What errors are you getting when try to launch an X application? Are you running an X server on your windows machine?
Have you restarted sshd since changing sshd_config?
