Two more things to check. First X11 needs permission to accept network
connections.
Look in the preferences for a checkbox "Allow connections from network
clients" and
make sure it is selected.
The second possibility is you may only think you set the DISPLAY
environment variable.
The environment variable must be set prior to starting X11 to ensure
that X11 gets the
correct value. There are at least 3 ways to set environment variables,
a system profile
script, a user profile script, and the environment plist file in the
hidden directory
.maxOSX. I prefer using the environment.plist property file. It gives
one place to
collect all environment variable settings that will apply to any
application started
from the finder. Since the command line interface is through the
terminal application,
it also affects command line activities.
