Subject: Problem with startxwin

Hi

I have downloaded cygwin packages and all the necessary binary files and installed it according to the instructions from the User Guide. However, when I double click the startxwin.bat in windows explorer, I kept getting this error that says "

Fatal server error :
could open default font "fixed"
rxvt : can't open display 127.0.0.1:0.0
/USR/X11R6/BIN/XTERM Xt error : Can't open display : 127.0.0.1

Initially, there was also this error that says "invalid switch /B".  I solved the problem by removing the "/B" from startxwin.bat

My startxwin.bat is as follows :
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=43.68.123.77:0.0
SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin

REM SET XFCE_DATA=\cygwin\usr\X11R6\var; xfce

I am using Win98, Pentium III, 128 MB of ram.

Thank you and best regards.
