I first tried the X-forwarding option on the ssh command (ssh -Y xxxx), that didn't work. I do have the Ported tools package installed under USS.
I run FreeBSD on my workstation so yes I do have an x-windows server available on my workstation. The process that I do at home ssh -Y linuxbox and execute an x-windows application doesn't seem to work at work.

You shouldn't be doing this either, if you have OpenSSH installed on USS (which I strongly recommend). Use the X-forwarding feature of your SSH client instead. > When I attempt to execute the application I get a Can't open display error. > > I do this at home all the time and it works there without a problem so > I think I have all the pieces set correctly here. > > My network trace is showing a connection refused to my workstation IP > address port 6000 (X-Windows). > > Does anyone know where to go from here? Do you actually have an X server running on your desktop? (netstat -an should show something LISTENING on port 6000. If so, you may be looking at a firewall issue. If that is the case, then using the SSH X-forwarding will fix that problem, since the X traffic is tunneled through your SSH session.
