What are you using? Cygwin or VNC?

In case of vnc, you need to start vncserver on your remote box and then
access it from your local machine using browser or vnc client.

If you're using Cygwin, then start XWin on your local machine first and
then connect to remote machine. If you are connecting using ssh, then
enabling X11 forwarding will be enough. If you are telnetting, then
after telnetting, in your remote shell set DISPLAY variable to your
local machine display.

Go through the following manual to setup cygwin-x:
