What you need to do on your home computer is allow the foreign server to display the x application on your machine ... it's a two way street. so, do a 'xhost +thisbox.cs.utexas.edu' and it will say : > xhost +thisbox.cs.utexas.edu thisbox.cs.utexas.edu being added to access control list It's a better idea to use ssh, as the other folks have covered .. but this is the solution you're looking for.
