On the remote machine, did you set the DISPLAY to that of your mac?
(with:

	setenv DISPLAY your.mac:0 (if you use tcsh)
	DISPLAY=your.mac:0; export DISPLAY (if you use sh,ksh, or bash)
)

--Ettore

Yes, when I printenv on the remote machine, it shows
"DISPLAY=my.domain.name:0.0".

Hmm... What do you have in the Security tab? (That's the Preferences in the
X11 application). I'm not sure, but if "allow connections from network
clients" is not checked, that may be the cause. Another check you can
perform is to run


netstat -a

on the mac in a terminal and see if there is anything listening on ports in
the neighborhood of 6000




"Allow connections..." is checked. When I perform netstat -a, I get output I don't really understand, but from what I can tell nothing is listening on ports around 6000.
