Xwindows not working

Hi

I am trying to run a program on a solaris bx that requires an xwindow. I have exceed running and X11 forwarding enabled in putty I sent my display but the output is can't open display.

To connect to the server I ssh to a jump host and ssh to the server and then su to root. Could this have an affect on the xwindows not working? Do i need to do anthing to the MIT cookie?

There is a 2 minute pause between executing xclock and the error occurring.
