Steve,
try the following - I have this working on SuSE Std Srv 8 from my XP
desktop PC. Do the following just to get it to work - then you can tighten
up the firewalls again once you know it is OK:
- For testing disable your XP Firewall as follows:
- right click My Network Places
- Select Properties
- Dbl Click Local Area Connection
- Select Properties
- Select Advanced Tab
- Disable Internet Firewall (for now)
- Disable your firewall in YaST2
- Ensure you have ports 6000 and 177 open on PC and Linux box (not sure
which uses which - Xwin sends to linux on one port and receives on another
or something along those lines - that is why this system needs both ports
open)
Try now - it should work.....
Hope this helps..

Ok, Cygwin's installed on my Windoze PC. A fairly stock SuSE 9.1 is
installed on my laptop. I can ssh into that box with standard SSH.
From another message, I saw a reference to using: x -query hostname - to
get
into a remote X session. All that happens is I get a full screen X session
(shows the pretty X cursor with the "checkered" background) but nothing
happens.
What am I missing?

Try cygwin for Windows. I use it to get remote a desktop to my SuSE 8.0
Standard Server box via XDMCP.
After the previous emails here I am seriously looking to convert to ssh (I
have been looking at this and the time is now).
Hope this helps....

Is there a Windows (cough) client that'll connect similar to ssh -X ?

Indeed. X in SuSE 9.1 by default does not accept TCP network connections.
If you are doing this over the internet, consider using "ssh -X" instead
If you are doing this on a secure LAN and you *really* want to do it
unencrypted, then edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN to "yes" and run SuSEconfig and
restart X
