FW: xwin on cygwin - cannot connect


I believe it was an issue with the cygwin.? The screen and the whole app it self seemed to crash when trying to connect.? I tried on a nother machine and everything is fine.
?
Another question,? I would like to access this box from external, it's behind a NAT/firewall.? I've been hearing that xdmcp does not work behind NAT devices..? true or false?
?
thx
?
