Still Nothin...
Well I tried the command like you said, but had no luck with it. The Apple X11 terminal is a XFree86 terminal that runs within the GUI named "Quartz" of the MacOS. After executing the comand from the X terminal, a executable icon appears in the dock named Xquartz, and the following is displayed on the X terminal:
halley-clarks-ibook-g4:~ halley_clark$ X :1 -query 192.168.1.253
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1024x768 @ (0,0)
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 6 failed for display 192.168.2.1:1: Cannot open display
OsVendorFatalError
AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
Now looking at this where it ways XDMCP fatal error, I'm assuming whats going on is the session cannot be established, possibly something on the Solaris-maybe a difference from 9 and 10?
Also, 192.168.1.253 is the location of the server behind my NAT server.
I have tried both addresses with the same results.
I seemed to go further with just the Xsession through ssh. It would connect and display the "starting CDE" screen, only in the wrong color and with wrong fonts, and it just stays there. But I dont know enough about how X works and how to use it to figure out why.
Now also I would like to ask what a good book on X would be. I am new to X, but I am not new to Unix and I have many animal books. I first started with Linux, but then moved on to some work with AIX, and then Solaris 7 (!) and irix (uggh!) and FreeBSD and now the freeBSD based MacOS (yay!). But all of my skills I have gained strictly through a CLI. I have had very little experience with window systems on unix because I have always used SSH or RSH to work with a machine.
ps-you are welcome to try and connect to the machine with you solris 9 machine.
the username and password are in the top thread.
thank you very much for your help!

dtsetup(8) System Manager's Manual dtsetup(8)
NAME
dtsetup - Configure and Customize the Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
SYNOPSIS
/usr/dt/bin/dtsetup X resources
OPTIONS
Specifies the standard X11 resource options. For more information, see the X(1X) reference page.
DESCRIPTION
The CDE Setup application, dtsetup, provides you with a mechanism to customize your Common Desktop Environment by using a graphical user
interface.
It also provides System Administrators a means to create a CDE environment for various types of users.
When you invoke the CDE Setup application, a panel of four icons are displayed: Quick Setup, Desktop, Login, and Services.
From the Quick Setup icon, you or the system administrator can provide minimal entries to configure CDE.
The Desktop icon lets you or the system administrator set up the front panel, establish various window manager resources, define starting
applications, and set parameters for the terminal, dtmail, and dtfile applications.
The Login icon lets you provide information about your login session, while the system administrator can also set up the system login
greetings, and set up the X server configuration.
The Services icon has fields for various services configuration. You are restricted to the choice of whether to run the Motif/OpenLook DND
gateway. The system administrator has additional choices regarding the ToolTalk Session and ToolTalk Database server, as well as disabling
network dependency and allowing inbound remote process execution.
The CDE Setup application provides an effortless way of assembling the CDE front panel from available controls. Furthermore, by providing
various file names and other specifications, the CDE Setup application allows you to create your own controls.
The CDE setup application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager. Application Group: System_Admin Desktop_Apps Subgroup: Configuration
To start the dtsetup application from the command line, enter /usr/dt/bin/dtsetup.
Online help is available for the dxmtools application. To get help, click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.
