Assuming all env vars are set correctly (i.e. the client knows about the
display server) then xauth is usually the culprit. Try xauth +[clientipaddy]
on the X server machine to grant permission. Then check firewall rules.
Command syntax is as follows:

display -display [192.xxx.xxx.xxx:0] ./image1.png
