1) your pc will have to be running an xserver to accept the connection.

2) the unix machines has to have its xclient also running.

3) i believe it would be something to the effect of -display ip:0.0

at least for solaris8.

For ksh it is

export DISPLAY=hostname:#.#

For csh try

setenv DISPLAY hostname:#.#

Where the first number is the number of the display, and the second is the screen. For a PC, those numbers will almost always be 0.0 unless you are running a dual-monitor setup or something exotic like that.

You can use the IP address of the PC instead of the hostname if you wish too.
