it is the name of the machine upon which you are attempting
to run the application. Your local machine is the machine you
wish to have the display directed to. In your example
$DISPLAY=workIP:0.0
sets the remote machine to display at WorkIP which is
the local machine (in this discussion)
The local machine requires an .Xclients file which lists
the names (fqdn) of machines permitted to effect X sessions on
the local machine
xhosts + would allow X sessions from anywhere (from any machine).
Then you'll have to stop and restart the X server (on your
local machine)
cheers, Kyle.
