Remote Desktop Connection between FC1 and Solaris

Dear all,

I have one Linux box running FC1 (2.4.22-1.2140.nptl) and a Sun Server 
running Solaris 9. I want to have a remote desktop connection, so when
I run an application on the Sun Server, the display will be exported
to my linux box.

This is what I do

1. On my linux box I ran
[root at paulus root]# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root at paulus root]# ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:DC:E6:2A:DB
           inet addr:192.168.200.35  Bcast:192.168.200.255 
Mask:255.255.255.0
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:745961 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:4510422 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:77979401 (74.3 Mb)  TX bytes:2364482264 (2254.9 Mb)
           Interrupt:11 Base address:0xa000

2. On my solaris box, I ran
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.9       Generic May 2002
# DISPLAY=192.168.200.35:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
# echo DISPLAY
192.168.200.35:0.0

3. Then I ran a simple command on my Solaris server and got this message :

# /usr/X/bin/xterm
/usr/X/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.200.35:0.0
# /usr/X/bin/xterm -ls -display 192.168.200.35:0.0
/usr/X/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.200.35:0.0

What's wrong with this? Did I miss something? Or is it impossible to do 
such thing?

Thank you for your kind attention

Regards,
