You need to have the cookie for the screen you want to display on. You can
do that by having the same home-dir on both machines (which can then both
read your ~/.Xauthority file, or by explicit setting of permissions with the
xauth program:
On the  local machine, run 
xauth list $DISPLAY
an cut-and-past the result into the window on the other machine using 
xauth add "result of xauth list on other machine"
(e.g.   xauth add local-machine.domain:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  532f245255.....)
Don't forget to set your DISPLAY variable on the remote machine!
(e.g.   setenv DISPLAY local-machine.domain:0 )

Some protocols, such as ssh, should do all this automatically for you.

Succes,
