I have a problem with remote X connections to X11 running on OS X

On the local machine, I can run X applications OK, but only with

The following work:

# xeyes -display :0.0
The following do not:
# xeyes -display myhostname:0.0
Error: Can't open display: myhostname:0.0

Does anyone know what the problem is?
Sounds like the server is not listening to tcp connections. Check
whether ~/Library/Prefernces/com.apple.X11 has nolistentcp (or
similar) set to Yes, and change it to No. I'm guessing this will fix
the problem.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you
share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
