What exactly are you trying to do? Your machine runs the X server. You
tried to start the X server on the remote machine, but you don't need
it, and you can't do it.
If you want to run an application from the remote machine that would
display on your X server, set the DISPLAY environment variable to the
address of your server and then start the application, e.g. in bash:
export DISPLAY=123.234.23.32:0
xterm &
Note that you have to instruct your server to accept this application
beforehand (otherwise anyone could start applications on your
server). There are many ways to do it, but the most secure one is
using MIT cookies. Type "xauth l" on your machine; you should get
something like this:
yourbox/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 34b8219df14a7ec77156dcab72bf2ce6
yourbox:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 34b8219df14a7ec77156dcab72bf2ce6
Then on the remote machine do this:
xauth add yourbox:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 34b8219df14a7ec77156dcab72bf2ce6
Then you can export DISPLAY=yourbox:0 and start the app.
