Error in opening the display on local windows machine for DBCA GUI from rem

Question

Hi Chaps,
I connected remote machine using SSH putty from my windows local PC
I set the environmnet on my remote linux5 mahcine as
$export DISPLAY=10.96.5.153:0.0
and ran xclock on remote machine to see the GUI on my local machine(10.96.5.153). unfortunately I got an error
'Error: Can't open display: 10.96.5.153:0.0'
the whole idea of doing above is to invoke DBCA GUI on my local machine
can you please enlight your experience? any solution to this will be appreciated.
Thanks
QA

Hi QA;
I set the environmnet on my remote linux5 mahcine as
$export DISPLAY=10.96.5.153:0.0
and ran xclock on remote machine to see the GUI on my local machine(10.96.5.153). unfortunately I got an error
'Error: Can't open display: 10.96.5.153:0.0'you are using X-forwarding? Or you are using program as VNC or Xming?
If you are using VNC you have to follow:
1. Check vnc is running or not
service vncserver status << if its return Xvnc stopped
service vncserver start
2. vncserver (if you run first time it will ask you password, enter valid password)
3. as a root user
export DISPLAY=linux_machine_hostname(or IP of linux):1.0
xhost +
4. run Vncviwer from ur machine then enter
linux_machine_hostname(or IP of linux):1.0 and pass
5. From vnvviwer screen
su - oracle
Then you can run DBCA
