I just upgraded cygwin and now I can't get remote xterms to display on the local machine. The previous version of startxwin.exe started a server on DISPLAY=IPAddress:0.0 and I could display remote Xte rms because I'd set the remote DISPLAY variable to the same value, and they could get to the PAddress. The new version of startxwin.exe uses DISPLAY=:0.0, and remote xterms won't display/can't find my machine. I tried setting the remote machine's DISPLAY=IPAddress:0 and to DISPLAY=machinename:0, but I get "Error: Can't open display: IPAddress:0" or "Error: Can't open display: machinename:0" On the local machine I tried "xhost + remotemachine" and "xhost +", still no luck. Still looking for an answer...
