I am assuming you are running Windows, since people running Mac OS X and Linux 
don't seem to have trouble with X11.

Make sure that you've carefully *installed* Xming and putty, *started* Xming, 
and *verified* that you can ssh in with X11 forwarding *and* that xterm works 
correctly, as per our instructions:

http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_Tutorial#Windows_XP

If xterm doesn't work, Wireshark *will not work*, since it is also an X11 
application.

As an alternative, you could also just install gnome in the VM and run an X11 
session in the VM window. (The method of doing so depends on which VM image you 
are using, but it should not be difficult.)
