Where u r setting the DISPLAY variable. Have u started your Xserver session through any Xserver emulator. If u r doing in ascii then it will not work.

First u will have to start xsession then set your DISPLAY variable and then start any gui u wish.

Also if your DNS server is not set, try to give IP address of the server while setting DISPLAY variable.

you done an 'xhost +<host>' command anywhere?

you need to turn off access control to certain servers to get it to work
