Hi 
I have found some related posts in the archives, but nothing that seems to 
solve my problem, which is: 

I start startxwin.sh from my client (which runs windows2000) (I have tried 
both cygwin shell and cmd)
then i open up an ssh connection (ssh -X -l username hostname) to my host 
computer which is running red hat 7.3.  The sshd config file has 
X11Forwarding turned on 

when i try to open xterm, xeyes, anything  - i get the following error: 

xterm Xt error: Can't open display:

this happens no matter which window i am sshing from - cmd, cygwin, xwindows.
and /tmp/XWin.log displays no error messages

Any suggestions? 
Thanks,
Meredith
