Well, it complains about "localhost" being unresolvable, not the actual<br>
DNS name. Soooo ... does your hosts file (on the Mac) contain an entry<br>
for "localhost" and "127.0.0.1"?<br>
My guess is that X2GoClient is trying to connect to XQuartz via that<br>
name, so if there's no entry for it, it can't find the local X server<br>
you need to have running on the client (which, in the case of macOS, is<br>
XQuartz).<br>
