vmware + remote X problem

[FRamsay at castelhq.com (FRamsay at castelhq.com)]

Does anyone know if VMWare 3.1.1 (running on WinXP) with a Linux guest OS
has problems with remote X displays?

We just upgraded our PC's at work to XP, with VMWare to run Linux (I wanted
it the other way around but thats a different issue)
anyway I have a strange situation were I can telnet, ftp, ping, etc fine
between the linux-vm and a linux server out back, I
can open an xterm from the linux-vm to display on the server... but I can't
open an xterm on the server to display on the
linux-vm system.  I also tried this between two different linux VM's which
also failed.  I get the dreaded: Can't Open Display
error (yes I've run xhost  to allow connections)
I suspect the problem is on the routers on this new LAN segment filtering
some requests but I want to make sure it's not
something with vmware before I go complain to the LAN guy.
So, to rephrase the question, does anyone know if linux running in vmware
has a problem with remote X displays?
