I assume you want to run X Server on a windows machine and the actual
aplication on a remote Linux/Unix machine. In that case, all you have to do
is following
You can execute the commands using ssh on the remote machine(i iwll not
suggest telnet, but choice is yours)
On machine running cygwin
xhost k.l.m.n
where k.l.m.n is ip address of the machine where you will run the
application. You can provide dns name also if available(but check it if it
work by pinging to it first)
On remote machine
export DISPLAY=a.b.c.d:0
where a.b.c.d is IP of machine running cygwin
after this whatever GUI application you run on remote machine it will
present it's user interface on your machine running cygwin.
