I'm trying to connect to my linux server but I'm having some major problems. The server had OEL 5 installed and my local pc is running Windows XP. I'm using PuTTy to connect to the server with Xming running on my loacl machine. I login as root and run the following command -
I then run xclock and get the following error -
The strange thing is that on my bosses pc (who has got almost the exact same setup ie. PuTTy & Xming) is works perfectly.
Please help.
Thanx in advance.

XOpenDisplay(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XOpenDisplay(3)NAME
XOpenDisplay, XCloseDisplay - connect or disconnect to X server
SYNTAX
Display *XOpenDisplay(char *display_name);
int XCloseDisplay(Display *display);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
display_name
Specifies the hardware display name, which determines the display and communications domain to be used. On a POSIX-conformant
system, if the display_name is NULL, it defaults to the value of the DISPLAY environment variable.
DESCRIPTION
The XOpenDisplay function returns a Display structure that serves as the connection to the X server and that contains all the information
about that X server. XOpenDisplay connects your application to the X server through TCP or DECnet communications protocols, or through
some local inter-process communication protocol. If the hostname is a host machine name and a single colon (:) separates the hostname and
display number, XOpenDisplay connects using TCP streams. If the hostname is not specified, Xlib uses whatever it believes is the fastest
transport. If the hostname is a host machine name and a double colon (::) separates the hostname and display number, XOpenDisplay connects
using DECnet. A single X server can support any or all of these transport mechanisms simultaneously. A particular Xlib implementation can
support many more of these transport mechanisms.
If successful, XOpenDisplay returns a pointer to a Display structure, which is defined in <X11/Xlib.h>. If XOpenDisplay does not succeed,
it returns NULL. After a successful call to XOpenDisplay, all of the screens in the display can be used by the client. The screen number
specified in the display_name argument is returned by the DefaultScreen macro (or the XDefaultScreen function). You can access elements of
the Display and Screen structures only by using the information macros or functions. For information about using macros and functions to
obtain information from the Display structure, see section 2.2.1.
The XCloseDisplay function closes the connection to the X server for the display specified in the Display structure and destroys all win-
dows, resource IDs (Window, Font, Pixmap, Colormap, Cursor, and GContext), or other resources that the client has created on this display,
unless the close-down mode of the resource has been changed (see XSetCloseDownMode). Therefore, these windows, resource IDs, and other
resources should never be referenced again or an error will be generated. Before exiting, you should call XCloseDisplay explicitly so that
any pending errors are reported as XCloseDisplay performs a final XSync operation.
XCloseDisplay can generate a BadGC error.
