Hi guys,

I am trying to load X-windows using Cygwin.
This has worked previously but now not working.
What I normally do is open Cygwin, then type
cd ~Administrator
bash "servername".sh

This loads another window with a login prompt which when I login I get into X-Windows.
The problem I am having is I am now not getting the login prompt.
I believe it is gnome that it connects to.
I have checked that gdm is running and it is.
I reran the gdm command and tried again, still no login.
I also tried rebooting the server and still no luck.

I have tried running startx on the box and I get the error:
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2)
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

Can anybody help as to what I need to run on the server that will give me the login prompt?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ignore, this thread, I have solved the issue.

For those who are interested, i had the wrong ip address in my /etc/hosts file for my Windows machine and that's why it wouldn't give me the login prompt
