LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Running x applications (firefox) with cygwin xserver

Hi!

Environment:
Server: rouge - fedora 11, no gui (it's a server)
Desktop: tsunami - Windows Vista
xServer: cygwin - startxwin.bat

startxwin.bat opens a terminal window and I can ssh to rouge without any problems. I'm trying to run firefox, but I can't seem to run any x software. To keep it simple, I've been working with xvinfo. I get the same errors there as with firefox. I've installed firefox with:

Code:

yum install firefox

Here is what I'm trying

Code:

[Mike@Rouge ~]export DISPLAY=tsunami:0

[Mike@Rouge ~]xvinfo

No protocol specified

Error: cannot open display: tsunami:0

[Mike@Rouge ~]

ping tsunami does work, so I'm pretty sure that the host name is valid and the network is good. Attempting to run firefox produces the same errors, although the "No Protocol specified" error shows up twice. I'm quite sure that there is something about x that I don't get, and that is probably why I'm having this problem.
