Cannot access Sun server via VNC

[a12]

Hello again,

I have just tried your hint using:
Win.exe -query <sun-host> -from <localip>
where <localip> is the IP address received from Cisco VPN client.
Sun host IP address is a.b.c.d, and localip is a.e.f.g
XWin errors off, and the contents of /tmp/XWin.log are:
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.2.0-2
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
XWin -query host1 -from  a.b.c.d
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
Fatal server error:
Xserver: failed to bind to -from address: a.b.c.d
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

Then I tried to use the IP address that my ISP gave me:
XWin.exe -query host1 -from a.e.f.g
The contents of /tmp/XWin.log are the same as above.

As I am connected to Internet using a router, I also tried:
XWin.exe -quesry host1 -from 192.168.0.3
This time a get a X window, and the cursor appears as a cross hair. 
After some seconds, I get an error message, and the contents of 
/tmp/XWin.log are:
