Could well be something simple.....

telnet in to the unix server....type tty and get the tty port of your connection

type who -u and see what IP address your telnet session is

export DISPLAY=thatip:0.0

NOT the IP you get running ipconfig on your PC... I do this quite regularly and it works even though my home pC is behind a router giving me a 192.168.xxx.xxx address

The unix servers are showing 165.15.xxx.xxx and that is what I export

Also use ssh IF the UNIX server is setup with ssh

Ssh is a little easier if your client is setup properly and I use putty a 'freeware' ssh client...works great also

Thanks David, Stephen

It sounds like this is probably a question for the networking gurus at the
company. Fortunately I didn't badly need the installer working today. I really appreciate your help in confirming that is wasn't just something simple.

if you are being a router and the unix box isnt, then it doent matter what os it is or anything, the unix box just cant see your pc.

Use an ssh tunnel with X11 forwarding enables, all x traffic will then go through your tunnel to you pc. All you need is an x server on you pc (cygwin, xwin, exceed etc.)
