Hi Holger,
thanks! That brought me onto the right track.
I had checked for name resolution to work on the Cygwin box (nslookup in
DOS window), so I never tried using the ip address directly; but in
Windows' hosts file (which Cygwin symlinks) there was a wrong entry for my
servers.
Stupid mistake, sorry for disturbing, I should have found THAT on my own.
Thanks for your help!
Dirk

did you try X -query numeric.ip.address -from x.server.address ?
