X11 forwarding problem



Hi all,

thanx to the debian-laptop readers (and others), I've finally got my WLAN card 
up and running... (Linksys card with prims2 driver, for those interested...)

I quickly ssh-ed into my desktop machine and fired up an xterm...
Cannot open display, bla bla...

I *did* do the normal 'xhost +laptop', ssh -X desktop, and export 
DISPLAY=laptop:0.0... I even tried 'xhost +'... I still get the "cannot open
display" error...

The WLAN uses TCP/IP, so I would reckon that this should work... which it does 
on all other Debian machines I use... 

Ideas? Need I make the X11 server aware that it may accept connections, other
than with xhost?
