I am trying to enable X11 forwarding on my server which is running on FreeBSD 7.1.
I have a putty installed in my windows in which i have enabled X11 forwarding by
checking on Enable X11 forwarding
and specifying following parameter
X display location localhost:0
after that i run putty and checked whether X11 is enabled or not by typing following command
echo "$DISPLAY" or echo $DISPLAY
but i am getting following error
DISPLAY: Undefined variable.
Even i have installed XManager but in that also i am getting following error
The X11 forwarding request was
rejected ! To solve this problem,
please turn on the X11 forwarding
features of the remote SSH server
can anyone suggest me how to get rid off this ?

Putty is not enough to enable X11 forwarding on Windows, you must have a X Server installed too.
You can for example install Cygwin X : http://x.cygwin.com/
