Re: problem with xhost
If it's into the GUI, then you might want to check your firewall rules, making sure that the localhost can talk to it's self un hindered.
iptables -nvL
And why are you setting DISPLAY yourself? If you log in as root, start a terminal, your DISPLAY should already be set.

Re: problem with xhost
try running the xhost with the following switches :
1. xhost + this one will enable all connection from all clients
2. xhost +192.168.1.111 this will enable xhost session from 192.168.1.111 only.
there is a better way ( much more secure ) to do this by enabling MIT MAGIC COOKIE. you can read about ir here : http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-7/node90.html
good luck

Re: problem with xhost
you should add switches to the xhost command :
1. xhost + this one will enable session from all clients
2. xhost +192.168.1.100 this will enable session only from the client 192.168.1.100.
there is much better and secure way to do this by exchangeing the MIT MAGIC COOKIE , you can read about it here : http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-7/node90.html
