exporting DISPLAY question/problem

Hi,

I'm trying to export the display from my 5.3 server to my linux laptop. Both have static IPs. Logging into the server with "ssh -Xl <user> <IPserver>" (capital X, small letter el), then "export DISPLAY=<IP laptop>:0", "xclock &", nothing happens. Then after some time I get "host: 0827-803 Cannot find address 192.168.30.110.".
Then adding IP laptop> to xhost "xhost +>IP laptop>" gives "1356-200 xhost unable to open display <IP laptop>".

I suppose I'm forgetting something essential, but what?

Thanks.
.
