You running doing the xhost + on the Win8 box and the export DISPLAY on the Linux side, right?

When I put export DISPLAY="IP address:0.0" ip address being my windows8 desktop

then xhost +

I get xhost: unable to open display "IP:0.0"

when I try export DISPLAY=":0.0" I get the same thing.

I have centos6.4 running on a late model Dell Blade Windows8 Alienware laptop

I checked the xwin firewall setting and it is set to public network access (but strangely private network is grayed out) any ideas
