Guys, i connect to a sun machine which runs solaris 8! I want to display nedit from solaris to my fedora! In my bash i write xhost+ or xhost +my_ip_here and to the sun machine i write: export DISPLAY=my_ip_here:0.0 But an error appears: Can't open display! In redhat 9.0 i had no problem with this! My firewall is disabled! Any ideas? Thanks!!

Fedora's Xserver is configured by default not to accept remote connections (more secure). So your xhost +<solarisbox> didn't do anything. Go to Redhat menu --> System Settings --> Login Screen Setup and uncheck "Always disallow TCP connections to X server". I think you have to restart X after that (log out & log in may accomplish this).
Check this list's archives for more discussions on this.
