I recommend that you try startxwin.bat before you start working with startx.
Send in the contents of /tmp/XWin.log if you continue to have problems.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am starting to use cygwin and I have followed the steps to install. However, when I type startx in cygwin, it appears in the screen that
"giving up xinit: connection refused(errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: no such process(errno 3): Server error"
Since I need to finish some simulations by the end of this month, it would be appreciated if I could have help.
Thank you very much.
Regards, Nico
1/Unzip the zipfile ns-allinone-2.26-cygwin-binaries.zip under cygwin root directory (C:/cygwin). It will place all binary files under /usr/bin and libraries under /usr/lib. 2/Next setup the path to tcl library by typing "export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tcl8.3/" at the cygwin (bash) shell prompt. 3/Inorder to run nam, you need to start the XFree86 server (type startx at the prompt) first and then run nam.exe from one of the xterminals.
