Try doing:

xhost + local:
or
xhost +

but I doubt that will solve the problem. The only thing that usually is
needed is for the remote machine to have a ~/.Xauthority file, which is
created when you run X or use ssh -X. No other ideas here.

Your other option is to run a vnc server, although for local networks x
forwarding works great, a vnc server allows one to keep gui apps running
and sometimes that is really handy.
