The first question I have is did you set xhost to allow the other server
in?  Normally setting "xhost +" is not a good idea, it's a security
hole, so I usually do "xhost servername" to allow it in, and when done I
"xhost -servername" to remove it.

I'd like to add that this will help only in case the older xhost-type
authentication is used. The newer method is xauth.
