From the station you need to tell the X server to allow other X clients to  
connect. From a shell on the station type:

% xhost +

This allows all of the other machines on the LAN to connect. If you want to  
restrict it, type

% xhost + 128.227.8.99

(I made up this number obviously)

or 

% xhost + sun_host_name

read the man page on xhost for more info, you can query xhost and also set  
multiple client access. This is probably in the X windows FAQ on one of the X  
windows news groups too.
