Do you kow of an xserver for windows? or for the host system which is RHEL4. I presume i need an x server running on the host server to be able to connect through?


you need a running x-server on the host where the window of your x-application should appear. this would be your laptop (that is running windows it seems). the host server doesnt matter in that way, he only acts as a kind of "proxy" for your network-connections to the VEs. you can use cygwin for windows to get a running x-server.

Regarding the X-Environment do you mean either Gnome or KDE or am i completely off track? if so do you know the best way to install them?

no, gnome and kde are only window-managers not the X-Environment. the X-server is independend from the overlaying graphical interface like kde or gnome. normaly the x-server needs some hardware for "painting" (like a graphic-card). the special x-server for VNC doesnt need a grapgic-card, cause he only handles virtual VNC-connections.

greetings,
mario.
