Unable to Open Display

I have an application that has a GUI
interface that I access from my Linux
workstation on a server. I just did a fresh
install of RedHat 7.1. Now, I can't open the
GUI display anymore. On the server I type
"setenv display " and on my
local workstation I type "xhost +", but still
get the "unable to open diplay" error...Any
ideas? Thanks.

The thing started working for me after
removing the Firewall in "setup"..But I don't
know whether it is correct to do so..Any
comments??
