X server does not connect

X server does not connect

[Frank Thiel]

Hello, 
I did download Cygwin-Xfee and install on Win-XP Notebook 128 MB RAM Celeron 
Processor. After installing I want to connect to my Linux-machine doing:
c:\cygwin\usr\x11r6\bin\Xwin -query IPNUMBER

The X-server starts, but does not connect to remote machine. (Grey screen with 
"x")

To rule out network trouble, I installed the demo of the commercial WinAxe and 
this Xserver does connect. Again, I installed CygWin Xfree on another 
notebook, same hardware (but 256 MB Ram) and it did connect. 

Somehow it might be, that some installation parts are missing ? I did choose 
the Xfee package and all libs...

Is any kind of Personal firewall installed (or the one from WinXP activated)?
Does the -from <local ip address> parameter work?
What is printed in /tmp/Xwin.log (wait some time for the last message from
the xdmcp server)
