I followed the Arch Wiki on it, but I still can't get it to work. Here is my sshd_config
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
Protocol 2
UsePAM yes
Banner Hi!
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-serverX11Forwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
When I go to use putty.exe I set my settings to
Enable X11 forwarding
X display location = localhost:0
And I'm using MIT-Magic-Cookie-1
Whenever I go to run xclock or firefox I get
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
I can not figure out what I'm screwing up.

Looks like the forwarding part is working, since DISPLAY is getting set to localhost:10.0 as it does in that case. Looks like a problem with X on the machine where you're running putty.

Hmm, I'll test it from another machine and get back to you.

Okay, had my friend try it from his house (I'm at work) still didn't get anything.

Just an advice: Wouldn't be easier to just tunnel the connection to the remote machine and run x11vnc?
In my case, I'm just connected all the day to my home machine. I use, as I said, x11vnc as server and remmina/vncviewer/put-your-vnc-client-here/etc to reach my desktop.
If you're interested on the setup, please ask.
They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

Possibly a silly question but do you have an X server running on the Windows box?
