I wanted to use DSL as an X terminal, which would display apps running on other machines. However, i cannot seem to get it to work, xhost has no effect. Even exporting DISPLAY as localhost:0.0 vs :0.0 will cause it to fail on the DSL machine. How would I get X to accept networked connections?

This is not really recommended as the xservers run suid. However, if you still want to do this... Then edit your .xserverrc in your home directory. The option -nolisten tcp is what is disabling your attempts.
