a small problem


I am facing this problem whenever I connect to a remote system in linux 
and try exporting DISPLAY to the Xserver running on my local PC in 
windows. The details are below.

	First my pc is running cygwin-Xserver in Windows.

	Next I telnet to a remote machine in linux and run the command 
		export DISPLAY=mypc_ip:0.0

	Now when I run a command like
		xterm &

	I get the following message
		Cant connect to mypc_ip:0.0
		Xlib: No protocol specified



	Please note that I have already run 'xhost +' in startxwin file so 
that I give permission to all clients to access the Xserver.


	Could someone please help me out!!!

							Rahul.
