XWin and xauth


I'm having the weirdest time getting XWin to grant my solaris/linux login
display rights.

first, my host PC translates its own name differently than the unix machines
do, so I get something like this:
cygin$ xauth list
nyfitw957952.leh.lbcorp.lehman.com:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
081b3d50145b5525317315327a715f62

but:

solaris$ xauth list
nyfitw957952.lehman.com:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
081b3d50145b5525317315327a715f62
solaris$ echo $DISPLAY
nyfitw957952.lehman.com:0
solaris$ xterm
Xlib: connection to "nyfitw957952.lehman.com:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: nyfitw957952.lehman.com:0


then, if by some  miracle I get past that, after a certain amount of time,
the connection stop working, even if I already have an xterm running, I
can't start another!!?!

what's a poor boy to do?
