We cannot run X applications across network on our Sun stations using
SunOS 4.0.x. With SunOS 3.x everything works fine i.e.  we can run a
application on a host A and display results on host B's terminal.  The
error message we get on OS 4.0 is 

              basic: can't connect to X server hawaii:0.0 

Host B in this case is 'hawaii'.

Is there a solution/workaround for this?

thanks,
