Re: Startx not running

[Steven Levis <levis501 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi Jared,
  Do you have any software firewalls running?  If so, try the following:

1) Reboot your computer
2) Stop any and all firewalls (like Norton, ZoneAlarm, or AVG)
3) Start cygwin/x

If Cygwin/X starts normally, you'll have to configure your firewall
to accept connections on port 6000.  Each firewall brand works differently,
so consult your documentation or other support resources if you need
any assistance with that software.

If Cygwin/X still doesn't start, look at /tmp/XWin.log for error messages,
and consult the various FAQs and other net resources for help.  Failing that,
post the contents of /tmp/XWin.log along here on the list.
