What kind of network card have you installed?
There is a small test program for testing the network interfaces.
Can you please run ls_netdev-w95.exe from
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/ls_netdev.tar.gz and post
the output?

I guess this is not a server problem, but a cygwin problem with your
network configuration. The cygwin1.dll tries to get the local IP-address
and fails. It then sends an XDMCP query with the local address 0.0.0.0,
which the server refuses.
