Check that Xming is accepting connections from the remote host. You can temporarily accept all connections by running Xming with the -ac option.
Also check in your putty options for the session that Connection > SSH > X11 > Enable X11 forwarding is enabled.

If you don't get an error message, it means that xclock is displaying a window, it could reach your X11 display. So your problem is that you aren't seeing Xming's window.
You have probably configured Xming to display X applications inside an Xming window, so navigate to the Xming window (this “one-window” mode is the default). Alternatively, configure Xming to display X windows on the Windows: start Xming in “multiwindow” mode. See the Xming manual for more information.
It's also possible (but unlikely) that you've done something weird in your configuration file and are overriding the DISPLAY variable. It is extremely rare that overriding DISPLAY in .profile or .bashrc or similar files can do anything useful. If you're also logged in inside X on the server's console, and you've overridden DISPLAY to be :0, then xclock is being displayed on the server's GUI.

Don't setDISPLAY. Never setDISPLAYover SSH (including PuTTY): if the SSH forwarding is working, the environment variable will be set correctly. If the variable isn't set, you aren't getting X forwarding. Check that you've enabled forwarding in the PuTTY client, that you haveDISPLAYset on the client side (with Xming, typically tolocalhost:0) and that the server allows X11 forwarding (X11Forwarding yesinsshd_config).

I performed steps what you have told.Didnt set the Display in putty .Enabled forwarding . And i logged in to the server and set the DISPLAY to localhost:0 .But no errors,but am not able to see the windows of xclock .As i said on one server it worked well.Also can i know where to look for ssh_config file ?

@eucap Again: Do not setDISPLAYmanually. Make sure you've set the X display location in PuTTY, and that the server accepts X11 forwarding.
