But unless you made a typo, it is really strange that you set DISPLAY to 192.168.0.201:0 and the error is about trying to connect to 192.168.32.101:0.0. That is not even in the same subnet. I strongly recommend using "ssh -Y" to tunnel the connection between machines, as it is more secure. It also eleminates needing to run xhost +192.168.0.99 and set DISPLAY. But if you are going to do it this way, try running "xclock -display 192.168.0.201:0" and see what that shows. If that works, we can then work on what is going wrong when you try and set DISPLAY.
