fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server

["Phillip R. Pfaffman" <ppfaffman at bigsandy dot com>]

Hello.

I have just installed the latest cygwin release and am trying now to install xfree86.  Although the symptoms look similar to several reports in the cygwin-xfree archive, none of the remedies there seem to work. I have a DELL Latitude 450 running Win2k. I was careful to run startxwin in a DOS window, although I have also tried it with bash, and both give the same results. I have tried DISPLAY defined as local and as the actual machine IP address, 192.168.152.99, and have invoked xwin with various flags like -from and -query, and in conjunction with xhost + (these appear as REMs in the text of startxwin.bat, below.)

If I have somehow posted to the wrong list, please excuse a beginner. Otherwise, any help would be gratefully received. Below is information that might be helpful.

Regards,

Phillip

startxwin.bat:

start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
