I'm on wireless too.
I've been wondering why cygwin/x has been locking up,
requiring me to restart the x server.
I am quite certain that there have been network admin
activity getting into my laptop.
After terminating cygwin/x when it locks up under
such a situation, wmaker session would still be
displayed on XP process list, along with rsh
sessions I've had. The wmaker session cannot be
killed, either by XP Task Mgr or MS Giant AntiSpy.
I would have to reboot the laptop. No, I could not
even reboot because XP could not kill wmaker.
I had to press the power button.
On restart of cygwin/x, a new set of wmaker is
started, but is not effective as evidenced by all
x application windows piling up at the top left
corner of cygwin/x window.

Subject: CYGWIN/X11 CRASHES ON BOOT UP - i am not running zone alarm or
any other firewall o.O
Hellos,
I've noticed that if my wireless configuration is
changed by a external program (aka a wireless profile
utlility), The cygwin/X server locks up.
I read something about the cygwin server not liking
the ip stack changed?
Any work arounds come to mind?
"I only use the x server locally"
*more details
Basically i have a wireless tablet that is
autoconfigured on boot up. I threw a shortcut to
cygwin/usr/x11r6/bin/startxwin.bat into the windows
startup folder. The first time you go to use the any
of the cygwin/x functions the c/x stops responding.
After closing the x server then reopening via
startxwin batch file the x server runs perfectly. The
wirless configuration is configured after cygwin is
loaded. There are no firewalls, antivirus of any kind
loaded (incuding the xp's firewall and security center).
