Errors when starting Cygwin/X on Windows XP SP2

2006-01-12 Thread Joseph Myers 

Hello,

I am getting the following errors when I attempt to start the Cygwin/X 
system on my Windows XP SP2 machine:


xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Have any other users reported this error?

Regards,

Joe Myers

I haven't seen that error message but it looks like it is a firewall problem:
xinit uses a tcp and an udp port (XWin uses a bunch of them).

Check if XWin is enabled in the Exceptions list of Windows Firewall.
