i need some help with respect to setting up a display environment.

what i need to do is to connect to a remote server. (which i am able to)
then i need to load a module on that server (again which im able to do)
then i want to display the graphic user interface of the module on my screen. (which im unable to do..)...??

when i used to do this using ssh client on windows .. i needed to type setenv DISPLAY ipaddress:0.0
i tried doin that .. its sets the environ
but when i try to open a module it shows me this warning...
Warning: Unable to open display '152.78.171.106:0.0'. You will not be able to display graphics on the screen.
