I'll let Alexander or someone else more familiar with X internals pick up the "no protocol specified" problem. Could be a firewall issue...

Firewall programs usually change the behavior of the TCP/IP stack by substituting their own DLLs in place of the system ones, so they may affect the behavior of network/socket related code even when disabled.
