Specify Anybody instead of Console in /etc/X11/Xserver.

This means that it can't connect to the server.  In particular, 111 is
ECONNREFUSED.  See if you can telnet to port 6000 on hostname from the
client machine.  If you can't, have a look on the server to see if it's
actually listening (can't see why it wouldn't be, but...).  If it is,
you've probably got a firewall.

Use -X since it's turned off by default in Debian.
