SSH & XFree86

[John Burkhart]

To whomever may have the knowledge (aka HH?),

I am using XFree86 running on a win98 machine to access a remote Unix
system. My machine is behind a router, therefore when i run ssh with the
parameters : ssh -X -l username hostname
I get the follwing error:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Subsequently the remote machine gives me a "can't open display" error
whenever I try to run anything like xmgr or even and xterm on the remote
machine. Do I need to use port forwarding? If so, how do I do this? The
router has a public IP address, but the IP on my computer is invisible to
the WAN as far as I can tell.

Thank you, john
