Hello everyone, happy Thanksgiving....

I was reading up on interesting topics and noticed something that I 
wanted to try, which is X tunneling/forwarding over a secure connection
using ssh and putty on Windows.

I've used Putty a number of times with cuccess to run my linux computer
remotely. As I type I'm at my mother's house on a Windows machine with
a new Putty installed, and I found a low cost X server (Mi/X) free for
15 day trial. I have the X server up and running but I can't get the
program running on my host Linux pc to display at the remote location.

I realize that it has to do with setting the DISPLAY variable - should
it be set to my IP address? Or is the tunneling using another "display" of my 
remote i.e. 198.144.206.157:1?

I tried a number of things and I get "cannot open display" after a few 
seconds or even minutes.
