X windows not working

Hi all,

Fedora 10 workstation is not able to login to X windows (GUI).But works fine on command line. Below are command outputs from two workstations: one with problem and another working fine (both are identical in h/w and run fedora core 10). Please help me in this. Thanks in advance!

Below are from the one where i have problem to login to GUI

What does

echo $DISPLAY

show on each box?

Hi Jim mcnamara

echo $DISPLAY shows nothing on both boxes

What do you mean by logging in the 2 boxes: Local? (which means for me at the console...) OR Remote (in which case how...).
From the little you show it could be IP issue, or more likely ssh since one has some ssh stuff and not the other (But Im half blind...) if so is X forwarding enabled? (You connect using ssh -X...)
