If you can start a local xterm, but can't display
remotely, have you checked the security settings
(xfree86 is pretty restrictive by default)?

Have you tried starting a local xterm, 
running "xhost +", then starting a remote 
session (without closing down the first 
local xterm)?

What is the error message you see when trying to
connect?
