I just upgraded my Cygwin to the latest version and found a rather interesting problem: I can do the following command in the bash window with no problem: ssh <username>@<server location> it prompts me for my password and then takes me in from there. -- However, if I: startx ssh -X <username>@server location> It prompts me for my password and then hangs. -- If I: startxwin.bat ssh -X <username>@server location> same problem: It prompts me for my password and then hangs. -- The only way I've successfully made a connection with X forwarding is: startxwin.bat Execute putty for windows with X11 forwarding enabled Enter username and password And I'm off and running...
