Leo, I ran into this same situation myself a while back. The trick is to enable IP tunneling via your SSH software.
I use SecureCRT from Van Dyke Software, and it works great. When you set up a SSH2 connection, you need to get to the configuration section dealing with Port Forwarding, and toggle the selection for X11 Forwarding, or Forward X11 Packets. According to the SecureCRT documentation, "Selecting this option causes SecureCRT to request that the remote machine forward X11 data to the X Server running on the local machine." Hope this works for you, Scott Lockhart >Hello > >I am running RH8. I tried to run X remotely over ssh, the following message is >displayed on my Putty, and it hangs.
