So your xhost +<solarisbox> didn't do anything. Go to Redhat menu --> System Settings --> Login Screen Setup and uncheck "Always disallow TCP connections to X server". I think you have to restart X after that (log out & log in may accomplish this). Check this list's archives for more discussions on this.
