| Thank you all for your respective suggestions.
While testing to get my X11 session, I had turned off my iMac firewall and my router/firewall when connected on the VPN hoping that it would solve the issue and remove one more potential block. As it turns out, it did not change a thing. Here's what I did and it worked:
- Turned my iMac firewall and my Belkin firewall back on - Opened port TCP 6000 on the iMac firewall - Removed the DISPLAY variable from .bash_profile - Used "xhost devicename" instead of "xhost +" - From my Xterm, type "ssh -X -2 -Y devicename -l myname"
It worked each time I connected to that device to launch my application.
Best regards,

Something strange is going on with DISPLAY since X11 version 1.1 and Tiger. It’s causing me problems.
One thing I think you need to do is take the command out of your .bash_profile that sets DISPLAY. It makes sense that DISPLAY should be set to your ip address but it does’nt work anymore.
ssh sets DISPLAY automatically. For me, it sets it to localhost:10.1. I don’t know why but it works.
Another post said you don’t need to type ‘xhost +’ before you do ssh.

Subject: Help: X11 (Tiger) and Solaris 9
Greetings,
I have a very bizarre problem with X11 and Solaris 9. I would appreciate it if you could help me resolving it. Here's the scenario:
I have an iMac G5 running the latest Tiger. I installed X11 and Xcode (even the latest as of this morning) and I connect to this network from home using Cisco VPN. On the other side, we have installed a new Sun v240 dual procs, 8 GB RAM, running Solaris 9. The only application running is HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.5 and this is the app that I need to access using X11.
After typing "xhost +" on my terminal, I connect to the Sun box with the command line: ssh -2 -Y devicename -l myname
At that point, I receive this warning message:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

In my .bash_profile, I have setup the DISPLAY for my static VPN IP address. So, now I call my app with "ovw &". After a few moments, the Sun replies:
Error: Can't open display: 172.21.127.233:0.0
Sometimes, it works fine. For example, this morning, I loaded my application without any problem and used it for several hours until I logged out. And now it does not connect anymore.
I thought that it was the bandwidth through the VPN, but after checking on our Concord eHealth, the VPN is working normally without excessive utilization (below 50%). We also checked the router downstream of the Sun box and all looks normal.
What do you think that the problem might be?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Best regards,
