xhost setting problem

["Sivea Key" <siveakey@attbi.com>]

I am connecting a distributed type application to xserver. I have found that
I must set xhost +<hostname> even though it is a local app. At this time I
am not concerned about security. This is a networking test environment and
needs to be very simple. However, on one machine, when I attempt to set
xhost +<hostname> I get the following:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 113
xhost: unable to open display "opus:0"

I have xwindows started and have opened an xterm window within it using the
same logon that I used to start xwin. I am using static ip addressing and
have listed the ip address followed by the local host name (along with the
address and host names of the other pertinent hosts on the test network) to
/etc/hosts. I have no apparent problems with networking and this same
procedure seems to work just fine on a similarly configured box on the same
network. There may be some garbage left somewhere from previous attempts to
get this stuff up and running (see previous list messages from me!) but I
don't know where to begin to look.

Thanks for your help!
