X doesn't care what kind of OS the client is running on. You need to do the same things you'd do to allow access from a Unix box, or a VMS box, or an AmigaDOS box, or ... 1) Make sure that your X Server is listening on the tcp socket. 2) Do something to allow connections from that host. xhost will do it, but isn't the most secure way. You might try reading that man page, and some of the ones it refers to, to get a handle on all of this. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
