Just installed Cygwin/X on WIndows XP Pro, Version 2002, SP 3. When I invoke startxwin, here's what I get:
---------------------- bash> startxwin Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.10.3.0 OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3 [Windows NT 5.1 build 2600] (Win32) Package: version 1.10.3-1 built 2011-07-19 XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/GP3JDP1-E6410:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet/GP3JDP1-E6410:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for local _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for local/GP3JDP1-E6410:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for local Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress ---------------------- It seems as though there's a general networking issue: ---------------------- bash> ping 127.0.0.1 icmp: unknown protocol ---------------------- but using Windows ping from a DOS prompt works fine: ---------------------- Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

We do run McAfee, so that could be an issue. Any ideas? Both for XWin and for ping? Are they related?
