I don't see that you have started X?

Meanwhile step by step.. getting an xterm.. 

| I start CygWin through the standard cygwin.bat file from installation.

After starting cygwin.bat, type startxwin.sh in the shell-window.. 

| From the terminal window I can connect to 192.168.0.5 through TelNet
| or SSH to change the DISPLAY variable.  In my attempts I have set
| DISPLAY to both 192.168.0.7:0.0 and 127.0.0.1:0.0.

>From the window opened in the X-window, do "ssh -X 192.168.0.5" and
there, do "echo $DISPLAY" (let ssh set the DISPLAY for you), if you
get a value like 192.168.0.7:0.0 it should be working, here fire up a
xterm.
