UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am trying to direct a AIX display to my XWindows and I am at a dead end now!
So this what I've done so far:

1. In putty settings, I set "Enable X11 forwarding" and also set "X diplay location" to "localhost:0" (without quotes, of course)

2. Via putty, connected to my AIX server
3. On AIX, forwarded display to my Windows box
$ export DISPLAY=<ip address of Windows>:0

Meanwhile, I opened MobaXTerm.exe on my Windows machine
$ ssh username@AIX_host_name

On AIX:
$ xclock
Xlib: connection to "<Windows IP address>:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: <Windows IP Address>:0

On Windows: tried looking for listener
$ ps -ef | grep listen
root 364732 1 0 Aug 21 - 0:00 /usr/bin/cimlistener

Then tried setting the Windows to be a host to AIX box:
$ xhost <IP Address of AIX box>
1356-200 xhost unable to open display ""

What more to do?

Er.. looks like the various XWindows clients I was trying out were all clashing with one another.

I was trying both XMing and MobaXTerm. Finally noticed that XMing server was still running in the background even though I thought I'd exited XMing.

The following steps in same order worked:
1. Exited XMIng server

2. Connected to AIX server using MobaXTerm
$ ssh username@ServerName

3. In Putty settings, enable X11 Forwarding and set display to localhost:0
(google for this. I am unable to post links as Im a new forum memeber)

4. Connect to AIX using putty
5. Set display to IP address of Windows machine that is running MobaXTerm:
$ echo $DISPLAY

$export DIPSLAY=<ip address of Windows machine>:0

6. Test with a comamnd like xclock. If everything is right, it should display the clock on the windows machine
$ xclock

Good for you
