Rahul,
if it wasn't the firewall...are you able to run X applications on your local
server?
Try starting X using startxwin.sh or .bat then run xeyes or something from
your xterm.
What do you get when you echo $DISPLAY on your cygwin X-Server?
What do you get when you echo $DISPLAY on your remote Linux system?
Can you 'ping' mypc_ip from Linux?
Jim
