Can't Open Display - Very Interesting results

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte at yahoo dot com>]

Suhaib,

I tried the win32-X11 server and it seems to work just
fine. I have some wonderful news however that may be
very enlightening

start win32-X11 using the following
cd \xwin32\bin
startx

Get a few errors but it comes up.

cd \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
set PATH= {stuff}
set DISPLAY=:0.0  or my ip:0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0
xterm

get can't open display for all settings

telnet to my Sun box
DISPLAY={my ip}:0.0
cd /usr/X/bin
./xterm &

Success... xterm is running on xwin32-X11
try 
./twm & for kicks and that works

close down xwin32-X11

startup xfree86/cygwin test 14 I believe
cd \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
set DISPLAY  (like above)
start /B XWin -engine 1 -screen 0 1024x768x16  -ac

xterm (get can't open display)

go over to sun telnet window (with no setting changed
from test with xwin32-X11)

./xterm &   (xterm appears in Cygwin/Xfree86)
./twm &     (xterm is now managed)

play around with it abit... cygwin/xfree86 is faster
than xwin32-X11   

So that is my report... Looks to my like a problem
with the networking code in cygwin
