X11 forwarding does not work after networking change

Hi all

I'm having an issue with X11 Forwarding

I have a VM set up on my computer which I usually "ssh -X" to over a home network (192.168.1.*).
Client 192.168.1.100
Server 192.168.1.103

This worked perfectly fine for X11 forwarding.

However I am not at home now (and have no access to my network) and need to add a host only network interface card to the VM so as that I can connect to it from the host machine.
Client 192.168.56.1
Server 192.168.56.103

I am able to SSH to the server fine and can run commands in the terminal etc.
But X11 forwarding is disabled when I use the host only network for some reason?

Any Ideas?
G.

Is X11 forwarding actually disabled or just not working for you? And what os is on the client side? Is it the same os as in your home set-up?

Hey

I reverted to an old VM Snapshot in the end

I still do not know what went wrong however I have a feeling I may have made a mistake somewhere along the way.

I am going to run my Implementation Procedure (Oracle ASM) once more and see if the error occurs again.

Thanks
G.
