As far as I= could tell, it connected to the emacsserver without issue, but then wanted= to create the emacsclient on the server machine. IIRC, if I played with t= he DISPLAY variable, it would create an emacsclient window on the server ma= chine, which seemed profoundly useless. So the best thing is probably to r= un emacsclient through ssh -- that's what I do anyway. There was a discuss= ion on reddit.com/r/emacs about this several months ago, but I can't find i= t.
