Try not using -Y.

And make sure nothing is messing with $DISPLAY (check .profile or
.cshrc or .login or the /etc versions of those.)

on the local host (with display) ssh should talk to your X server
via shared memory, or Unix domain socket.  On the remote host
the X client you start up should talk to a fake X server on 127.0.0.1.

Which is why I am questioning the 192.168.1.118 message.

Also, make sure the remote host's sshd config allows X forwarding.
