Cygwin/X is known to conflict with some software firewalls, like 
ZoneAlarm, even if they are only installed and not running. It works 
fine, however, with the Windows XP SP2 Personal Firewall. You may just 
have to uninstall the Fritz software. Perhaps you could use a hardware 
firewall built into a router like a Linksys WRT54G instead of the Fritz one.
