Hi,

I have installed the entire cgywin package along with XFREE86. I want to 
use it have the display of a remote program running on my local m/c.

After installing, I executed startwin.bat and the XServer started. I 
think I need to start Xterm as well to set the xhost, however, I do not 
know how I should do this. After I connect to the remote server using 
ssh through bash, I export the display using
export DISPLAY=ip_localmachine. However, this does not give me the 
display of the remote program. What is it that I am suppose to do and I 
am not doing. I think I am making some mistake, but do not know what.

Any help well appreciated.

Thanks

Monika
