Help with using a remote xserver



Hello all,

I'm posting here because this used to work when I was using Slackware.  I
have a mac (my wife won't migrate to Linux ... yet!) and a linux box
connect by ethernet.  I run X11 on the linux machine, and because the
monitor on the mac is so much nicer, I like to use a X server on it.
There is a free xserver for the mac called MI/X.  Worked fairly well
before I migrated to debian, but now when I try to start a client on that
display I get the following errors:

	whitehouse$ xterm -display powermac:0.0 
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
	Error: Can't open display: powermac:0.0
	whitehouse$

It also doen't work when invoked with

	whitehouse$ xterm -display 192.168.1.2:0.0

This gives the same error.  So what gives.  I seem to have everything set
up on my mac the same as before.  I've gone through the docs about X11 in
/usr/doc and yes I have Anybody as my secondline in /etc/X11/Xserver.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben
