Erica,

Unless your host is named XDMP, then you aren't properly specifying the 
host to connect to.

I also see from your XWin.log that you might be trying to connect to 
dummy_entry:0.  That isn't going to work either.

Please look at the following page in the User's Guide:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-session.html


Also, have a look at /usr/XFree86/bin/startxdmcp.bat.  That file has 
several examples of how to connect to a remote machine.  In addition, it 
can be modified to work for your system by simply changing the line near 
the top that reads:

SET REMOTE_HOST=10.0.0.1

If your host was named 'foo', then you would change this to:

SET REMOTE_HOST=foo

Hope that helps,

Harold
