Use /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat to start Cygwin/XFree86. Then go to your bash terminal and run these commands:
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
xterm
See if that works. Part of your problem could be starting XWin.exe from a bash prompt... which I never do, though other users swear by it.

Hi! I have the following problem: - I have started a bash consol window as usual with "cygwin.bat" $> XWin.exe & $> export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 $> xhost +Then from another host: [einstein]$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 [einstein]$ xterm & Xlib: connection to "127.0.01:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Then at the original host: $> xterm & # The window was accepted and displayed Second try from einstein: [einstein]$ xterm & Xlib: connection to "127.0.01:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Then at the original host: $> xhost + Third try from einstein: [einstein]$ xterm & # The window was accepted and displayed So, the X server first needs an xterm from the original host, only after that will accept connection from another hosts. I have found, that the second "xhost +" works from the in the X server previously displayed xterm too. Why is this so? Why the first "xhost +" does not work? Can anybody help me? (I have the latest X server:4.2.0-1). Thanks, Jozsef Kercso
