Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago:
----------------------------------------------------------------
There may be two reasons for that:
1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an
':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system
please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers
automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or
localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a
DUN on your system.
2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have
to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look
at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!)

Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the
problem!
