Thanks for your tips and suggestions Kevin!
When you refer to X server, do you mean Cygwin/X? And in order to get the
server running, I'm assuming I would have to install the x11 package
(http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing)?
How do you go about setting the firewall exceptions in Windows XP for ports
6000 to 6003? And what do you mean by "IIRC"?
Thanks again and in advance!
