I've tried both cleared and set X11 forwarding
checkbox in PuTTY, both as root and non-root
and only get:

$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

In the Xming log nothing happens at all (attached below).

Is maybe WinXP firewall inbetween, do I need to open
some port? (Xming asked me to do that during its startup,
and I did so - clicked the "Unblock" button)

Regards
Alex
