Nope.  I have no networking.

Just a single machine with dialup.

 As Raymond says this appears to be an
incompatibility with win9x versus winNT.  As you know, this is a
different code base.

Microsoft internally has two different Windows sources, one is Win9x and
the other is WinNT.  

But this isn't the problem as Raymond has Cygwin/XFree working on both. 
However, X doesn't work on my Win98 2nd installation.  I would be happy
to supply you with a message dump if that would be helpful.  It would
require some sort of setup because X just comes up for a one second and
you don't really see anything.
