Can't connect help

[Andrew Markebo]

If you are using ssh and want the connection to go over ssh, use "ssh
-X remote" (in a xterm) to let ssh do the hard work for you.

If everything is correctly setup, you don't need to set the display,
do a echo $DISPLAY on the remote machine to see if ssh has set it.
