I have been troubleshooting a problem I have notice with cygwin. First system specs: Pentium 4 2ghz 256Mb Ram 20GB HD Windows XP Pro Service pack 1 with Cygwin (just downloaded 1 week ago) now my question: When I run cygwin with the Internet Connection Firewall running I can connect to our UNIX box but I cannot run the Xwindows Applications. If I run the following command: emacs -d lc116052:0.0 after about 2 minutes the UNIX box reports "emacs: Cannot connect to X Server lc116052:0.0. Check the DISPLAY enviroment variable or use '-d'. Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine." If I disable the Internet Connection Firewall the emacs command works fine. I was just wondering if there is another work around besides stopping the Internet Connection Firewall?
