I get this far without any problem...

....at this point $DISPLAY is empty.

steve:~$xeyes
Error: Can't open display:

.... I've tried a couple things here with no luck:

steve:~$export DISPLAY=:0.0
steve:~$xeyes

.... It just sits here doing nothing until I hit Ctl-Z.

I also tried the following, which generates "AUDIT: Tue Feb 12 23:15:30
2008: 3476 X: client 6 rejected from IP 10.0.11.16" in the Cygwin "~"
window.

steve:~$export DISPLAY=stevespc:0.0
steve:~$xeyes
Xlib: connection to "stevespc:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: stevespc:0.0
steve:~$
