That's the wrong procedure, you should not set DISPLAY yourself, ssh takes care of that, and the value of DISPLAY is not <your client IP>, ssh will set it to <your server IP>:10 or similar. That's what happens when you set DISPLAY wrong, in this case there is a firewall that prevents direct connections. Ssh doesn't use direct connections, it tunnels the X protocol over the same connection you used to log-in.
-- René Berber That's right. Thanks. I have it working now. I reinstalled our custom linux build (previously had commercial build) and arkeia on the server and deleted the / /.ssh/knownhosts file on the client, to get rid of the previous host keys. I do get the error: warning: No auth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. ...but it works when I just type xarkea. I'm not sure how serious this warning is. I think I've read that I can ignore it. I'll have to look into that some more.
