X Forwarding using XMing and Putty

JimboJan 23 2013 — edited Jan 24 2013
Hi,

I am trying to run xclock as a test through an SSH tunnel I have set up ( in preparation for running OUI the same way ).

1. My Putty SSH terminal connection has been successful and I have logged on as root
For this connection I have ticked the X Forwarding box under the SSH - X11 section of Putty and I also set the X Display location as localhost:1.0
I have checked that localhost is defined as 127.0.0.1 in the hosts files of my desktop and the bacjen unix server

2. From this SSH session on the unix server, I set my DISPLAY to localhost:1.0 and export ( the same setting I have Xming Server running on my desktop as )

3. I then launch xclock fro the SSH session. However it just sits doing nothing. Xming shows no X Clients running

4. I check the event log of Putty and it shows

Requesting X11 Forwarding
X11 Forwarding Refused

Any ideas of what's going wrong ?
Jim
