_X11TransOpen: unable to find transport for tcp

Hi,

I am unable to start xterms, rxvts, emacs .... in my
cygwin/X install. I receive the message

_X11TransOpen: unable to find transport for tcp
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0

 when I start a cygwin bash shell, the X multiwindow
system, export the DISPLAY to localhost and then start
xterm. (xeyes will launch fine). I turned off the
windows firewall without any luck. This problem also
exists when I run cygwinX in single window mode.

I'm running windows XP with all the latest updates
installed and also the latest cygwin updates (although
my cygwin system has been installed for a few years
without a complete reinstall)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks Juergen
