X11 forwarding problem

Greetings to all community.

I want to start X11 applications, from other machines in local network, on my laptop with Arch. I tried to issue following commands:

xhost +
telnet remote-ip
DISPLAY=my-laptop-ip:0.0 xterm

and always get error "Can't open display: ....". My local $DISPLAY string has value of ":0.0" and "xhost +" command returns standard
"access control disabled, clients can connect from any host" like everything is OK.

I was using GDM and GNOME, now I switch to XDM and XFCE but problem remains.

Thank You in Advance.
