Yes, but first you need to bring up the network
(insmod, ifconfig).

I assume you mean rxvt.

Try this:
------------------------------
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.107:0
xterm &
------------------------------
I assume that 192.168.1.107 is the address of 
the thin client (and that it is pingable).

You don't use the -query parameter on the X client.
It is used on a thin client to connect to xdm 
(or similar) running on the X client.
