I want to access my X-server at home via cygwin at the office. SSH is configured properly and I have XFORWARD set to yes. When I am on my local lan, I can access the remote X server successfully but, I am having difficulty from work


I am able to ftp and ssh to my box at home without issue. I set up cygin, started x server using startxwin.sh .

In the cygwin xterminal i issue xhost +homeip

In the cygwin xterm i issue ssh -Y myhome

I successfully authenticate

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Then on my home server (with X running) i type xeyes &
I see the pid appear in the xterm
i run ps -e and see it running
but it never appears on my windows pc

cygwin x is running and I can run x apps locally

Any ideas?????

what's the output of
echo $DISPLAY

Thanks for the response

As set by the ssh -Y opiton
localhost:10.0
