remote display through gateway

That is what I am trying to do.  I telnet into the remote machine, and I set
the DISPLAY to be the IP address of my local win98SE gateway.  The question
is, is there any way to get my gateway to forward the X connection to my
desktop?  Right now, nothing happens, because my gateway doesn't have an X
server on it.
