I have used ethereal on the linux box to monitor the tcp/ip traffic.
The remote connection is allowed, but when the linux box tries to
connect back to the cygwin/xfree86 box, its messages seem to be ignored.
I am not running any kind of firewall on the cygwin/xfree86 box and they
are on a common LAN.
It seems almost like I need to issue a 'xhosts +node' on the cygwin box,
but I have not done that in the past and the cygwin box is not rejecting
the linux box, it is just ignoring it from what I see.
Has there been a security change that now requires xhosts +node to be
run somehow with the XWin --query command?
