Since we have got Tru64 Systems I did the following on that machine. 1. login on Tru64 2. xhost + 3. telnet hp0000 4. TERM=xterm(during logging) 5. setenv DISPLAY tru64:0 6. xclock This worked beautifully. In our internal network we donot have No Firewall. When I execute the following command on tru64, I see the port number 6000 netsta -a|grep 6000 tcp 0 0 *.6000 *.* LISTEN When I execute the following command on hp after logging from tru64 via telnet I get an error: % X -query tru64 Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running Eventhough it gives error I can run xclock application. If I do the above steps from Linux to hp 1.login on linux 2.xhost + 3.telnet hp0000 4.TERM=xterm 5.setenv DISPLAY linux:0 6.xclock Then I get an Error : can not open Display: linux:0 netstat -a|grep 6000 gives only the user prompt back on linux which is different on Tru64.How can I open this port on linux just for a test? I get the same error as given above for "X -query linux" command. I think this is a problem on linux configuration.

If you have the default FW, it is blocking tcp:6000. Take it down, at least temporarily (iptables -F INPUT) and try again. Also try 'X -query linuxxx', check if it shows things ok.
