Read the manpage on "xhost". This is the command that sets permissions
for X clients to connect to the X server on your desktop machine. For
a cheap and easy fix, type "xhost +", this will disable all access
control to X allowing anyone to run X apps that use your display, but
you might want to restrict it further if you're running on a network
that includes several mischievous unix users.

You could execute "xhost +the.machine.you.are.on" on my.computer.name, but
this allows everyone on the.machine.you.are.on access, which is quite
insecure.

Check out http://www.veryComputer.com/~zweije/xauth.html for a nice mini-HowTo on
how to connect safely.
