Re: XWin hangs on opening xterms: Conflict with software FRITZ!DSLStartcenter

Could it be a firewall of some sort?

It is a kind of firewall used with german DSL-router

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.
