Looks like XWin access needs to be set, use either "xhost +" (that gives access
from all computers to your workstation, if you want to be more specific then
it's "xhost +10.19.20.221) or xauth (I don't know how to use this).

I usually do "ssh -X ...@...", as long as you have DISPLAY well defined at your
end ssh takes care of everyting.  Of course you need the sshd server on the
other side.
