Pb starting X-server on a win98 machine

[Steven Derrien]

Hello,

I'm having problems starting Xfree X-server on my machine, 
(win95 upgreded to win98). when I run startx (or
startxwin.sh)
I get the following error message :

_X11TransSocketOpen : socket() failed for local
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient : unable to open socket for
local
_X11TransOpen : transport open failed for local/mymachine:0
giving up
xinit : Adress family not supported by protocol (errno 106)
: unable to connect to X server

I have browsed through the FAQ and mailing list archive but
did not 
found anything related to this.

thank you in advance for any hint ...

Steven
