I'm attempting to ssh into a central server and run an X app, with the
app displaying back on my display.

I've ssh'd into the server (where username@server is replaced with the
actual values): 

--
$ ssh username@server
username@server's password: 
Terminal set to xterm

Set the display (where 'ip_address' is my IP from /sbin/ifconfig):
--
> DISPLAY=ip_address:0; export DISPLAY
> echo $DISPLAY
ip_address:0
> 
--
And tried to run the app (where ip_address is my IP, like above):
--
> xclock
Error: Can't open display: ip_address:0
> 
--
I'm not really sure what to try next... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
