i am trying to export display to my xp box from redhat.. problematic again.

These are what I already have done:
on redhat:
#export $DISPLAY=:0.0
#export $DISPLAY=XXX.XXX.XX.XX ## my xp box ip
#echo $DISPLAY
#XXX.XXX.XX.XX
#xhost +
xhost: unable to open display "xxx.xxx.xx.xx"

on xp:
installed xming x11 server and it is running

on putty:

under SSH, X11, X11, checked box "Enable x11 forwarding" X display location [xp box ip]

----------
Is there anything else I missed? I think I have configured it the same way last time I made a Redhat box worked. Thanks

Don't set DISPLAY, putty does this as it connects, typically to localhost:10.0
