The first thing to check is if X really was started without "-nolisten
tcp":
$ ps -ef | grep "[/]bin/X "
root 9482 9480 0 22:49 tty7 00:00:01 /usr/bin/X -br :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-qdt4bc
...and if X is actually listening on port 6000:
# netstat -plant | grep 6000
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9482/X
tcp6 0 0 :::6000 :::* LISTEN 9482/X
If that has gone wrong than you did not remove the "-nolisten tcp"
option from the relevant file; this depends on how you start X. For
example, if you use KDM to start your X session then you have to change
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
to
ServerArgsLocal=
in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.
If you can confirm that your server is listening on port 6000 then you
probably should check if you have a local iptables rule that blocks
connections to this port.
