Yes, i think so Could it be a firewall of some sort? It is a kind of firewall used with german DSL-router Can you play with not loading the FRITZ stuff (without uninstalling it), and running Xwin then? Yes, i tried, but XWin showed the same failure -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

It is a kind of firewall used with german DSL-router Cygwin/X is known to conflict with some software firewalls, like ZoneAlarm, even if they are only installed and not running. It works fine, however, with the Windows XP SP2 Personal Firewall. You may just have to uninstall the Fritz software. Perhaps you could use a hardware firewall built into a router like a Linksys WRT54G instead of the Fritz one. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Perhaps you could use a hardware firewall built into a router like a Linksys WRT54G instead of the Fritz one. Thanks for your hints. I tried out a similar strategy. I uninstalled the Fritz software and installed agnitum firewall, now Cygwin/X is running fine. In parallel i contacted AVM (the vendor of Fritz software) and informed them of the malfunction. Perhaps one day in future i can use fritz software again ... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

There a two computers with FRITZ!DSL-software on it, and on both XWin and sh.exe hang on execution. So i identified the third-party conflict with FRITZ!DSL startcenter (www.avm.de).
