I there is a "-nolisten" option to the X server which tells it not to
listen on port 6000.  I this is the problem in your case you should see
it in the process table (ps -ef).  When nolisten is on, only local processes
can connect to the display.

I believe the -nolisten is passed to the startx command when your system
boots, but I do not remember.  I remember taking the nolisten out, but I do
not remember from where.
