If the IP address of the computer you are trying to connect to is 192.168.1.100 and the usernames are the same on both computers, you would want to type "ssh -X 192.168.1.100". You may need to check your SSH settings on the remote computer to ensure X forwarding is enabled. Edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure you have a line that says "X11Forwarding yes". If it is set to no, just change the "no" to a "yes".
