/usr/bin/X11/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

I am attempting to use Hummingbird's Exceed to run an xterm session from a PC to a 7440 running HP-UX 11.11

When I start the terminal session on my PC I receive the following error.

"/usr/bin/X11/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s"

This is a new box that I am building. It has a factory install of 11.11 and is being modeled against an existing server that X is working great on.

Any suggestions.

Hello
on the server just run the command xhost +
and that should clearup the problem

Shalom,

Make sure any intervening firewalls don't block port 7000.

vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the first variable to 1

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

When i run xhost + on the HP server I get the error message
xhost: unable to open display ""

I have edited my xfs file and turned on the Font server and still get the same error when I attempt to start the xclient
