Don't see the error you're getting. Could you please copy/paste it.

In general terms:

The xhost is done on the machine that contains the physical screen (runs the X server) which is in this case your Reflections machine.

     xhost +

>>>>>>so if I am on my pc and I run reflections, I then connect to the server. I type xhost + in and I get an error saying it can't display """"

$ xhost +
xhost: unable to open display ""

The export is done on the machine which has the command you want to run, in your case the machine on which runInstaller is found

     export DISPLAY={host-where-reflections-is-running}:0.0

>>>>>>I've done this. I put in export DISPLAY=mypc ip and I tried mypc name:0.0

$ DISPLAY=10.51.20.58:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
$ xclock

And the runInstaller is run by the Oracle user, not [never] the root user. In the same session as you did the export. (So log in as oracle, and then export, cd and runInstaller.)

The challenge is in the export above - knowing which display and screen (the 0.0 pair).

But actually getting a copy of the error would also be useful.
