[long text] I hope this information is useful to someone. Which version of Zone Alarm are you referring to? ZA 4.5 is known to work but we had mayn complaints that Cygwin/X will not work with ZA 5 (even if it is disabled). I'd be glad to hear that your description works with ZA 5 too. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
XWin.exe
Hi - I am trying to install this at home, but I can only get the bash window to come up. I would like to run the gnome or kde gui, but I cannot seem to get that to work. I have looked at the manual and it says that the xdmcp client is xwin.exe, but there is no xwin.exe. Am I missing something in the install?

I myself played around with it and found that it can be made to work easily by setting a few simple things within your zonealarm firewall. Cygwin/x must be able to act as a server and must be able to use its default ip addressing. It's not that simple. ZoneAlarm implements it's security by replacing the Winsock with it's own code. In some cases this irreparably breaks programs that depend on the Winsock, like Cygwin/X. ZoneAlarm 4.5 works fine, but ZoneAlarm 5 doesn't, as far as being able to run X. Other programs work with ZA 5 but not 4.5. Some simply don't work with either.
