I've been struggling with Xming and putty for a while and I can't make it work; I enabled X11 forwarding in putty, updated xauth list on the client side with the xauth list of the server side.

Currently I can run xclock from the client machine on the server machine when the DISPLAY is set to :0.0 (it shows xclock on the server machine), but I can't run it locally on the client machine; in other words, xming window doesn't pop up at all.

I already changed the DISPLAY to localhost:0.0, myip:0.0, and none has worked. When I run xclock (when display is set to myip:0.0) it starts (I don't get "can't find Display" error) but still xming doesn't show anything.

In my sshd_config I have the following lines:

X11Forwarding yes
X11Displayoffset 10 
X11UseLocalhost yes

  • According to [this post](https://superuser.com/a/1246330/361600), offsetting the `X11UseLocalhost` to be `no` may help. – llinfeng Apr 29 '19 at 16:23
