Hi, 

Thanks everyone for your replies. 

Ok, I'll try to have machineB listening for incoming connections. 
where is the '-nolisten tcp' is defined? 

I start my X with startx, and I've looked into /usr/bin/startx, /etc/X11/
xinit/xinitrc, and /etc/X11/Xsession, but haven't find where the '-
nolisten tcp' is defined yet.

Please help. 
Thanks

$ grep defaultserver /usr/bin/startx
defaultserver=/usr/bin/X
defaultserverargs=""
    server=$defaultserver
        serverargs=$defaultserverargs

$ grep server.*serverargs /usr/bin/startx
. . .
        serverargs=$defaultserverargs
    serverargs=${serverargs}" -auth "${xserverauthfile}
xinit "$client" $clientargs -- "$server" $display $serverargs
