As described by others, I can run xterm, twm, etc. from the other machines (Sun, Windows 98, etc.) but not from the local host (Windows ME). I am using cygwin1.dll from 4/14 snapshot and 4/14 xfree binaries. X is started with the following command.

Why don't you try my bb.bat file, attached. If you don't use blackbox
window manager, change that line to twm or whatever you want.
