You will want to set X11 forwarding on and then use ssh to connect to your
unix servers.  After that set DISPLAY to something like: localhost:10.0

Wow Cygwin is so much easier to install now...thanks !!

One thing I'm stuck on.....I can get Xwindows up on my XP desktop and
connect to all my unix servers but I haven't figured out how to export the
DISPLAY to my machine (and do a xhost + ) so that I can start up an
Xwindows gui (like xclock) on one of my unix servers and have it show up on
my desktop.

connection refused by server
No protocal specified


I'm starting Cygwin by doing a XWin.exe -query ip address (of one of my
unix servers).

Thanks in advance,
Charles Kendall
