Info on "Can't open display"

| I originally considered that it could be an interaction with VPN
| software because I do have VPN packages on both computers, however the
| problems occur whether the VPN software is active or not.

What VPN-software do you use? Is it possible to completely deinstall
it and give it a try? It can have hacked into the socket libraries of
windows..

Have you tried setting up some other application listening on som port
and connecting locally.. like a minimal webserver (included in python
:-), or just some kind of hello world test..
