Hey,
From what I have seen, try running InteractiveBastille from the
command line. Go through the various questions until you get to this
question => "TCP service names or port numbers to allow on public
interfaces:". For the answer, you should put any ports down which you
want open to the world. For example I have ports 22 and 25 open (ssh and
smtp). You might want to have port 6000 open (I think it's X11). This
should allow you to successfully make X connections to your server.

Subject: Re: [expert] xhost problem
Today I have activated tiny-firewall. Here is the problem!!!!
If tiny-firewall (bastille-firewall) is off, I can run x programs on my
server, but if it's on, I can't.
Then, the solution is: Configure correctly tiny-firewall to allow x
conections (I still don't know how, help, experts!) or stop it.
Salu2,
�scar.
