I checked to see if there was anything listening on 7100 before starting xfs and there wasn't. I also checked the firewall settings (as suggested by Jeremy in the next mail in the thread) and the firewall is not active. (In any case I know xfs sees something because it doesn't crash until I try to access it over the network!) I doubt its either the firewall or security settings because I have an old win98 partition on my home workstation and went and installed cygwin on that. I get exactly the same error. At the first access, it core dumps. I must be doing something stupid. I have tried to run xfs from 1) a bash shell (no X running) 2) within X after starting up X both i) from startx in a bash shell ii) with the startxwin.bat script. I just type xfs. It sits there waiting. All looks good. Then I have tried pointing my font path to it (with xset fp= ...) from a number of sources 1) remote machine running freebsd 2) from cygwin x-server on the same machine 3) from XWinPro on the machine It crashes _straight_ away. The stackdump is attached below for what it's worth. Could you enlighten me as to the way you ran xfs when it worked for you? Are you running XFree86 4.2? I am at a complete loss. I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it is! Thanks for the help guys! I am willing to try anything anyone asks to get it running!!
