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.
Thanks,
Todd

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?

Which X window package are you running on the Windows system? Hummingbird? cygwin?
Without one of those packages setup on the Windows system where you are running putty you won't get displays forwarded back to that system.
Are you running Putty on Windows? If so, are you running any X server software on it? If you are running an X-Windows environment on your desktop, you might need to use xhost to allow connections to the X server.
