Cygwin X-Win scripting help

[tbishop]

I have used XP and have used this script for a long time as a bat file to get to my UNIX box:
===============================================================
@echo off


C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -c "\XWin.exe -query 128.49.000.44 -from 128.23.77.149"
================================================================
for some reason on Vista it seems NOT to work the same, way, it opens up 3 command
tools, the 3rd one blank and a blank Xsession... nothing on the screen but an X
in the middle.... does anyone have any ideas???

Thanks,
Tom B.

If this is a new computer with Vista on it you'll need to change the "-from"
IP address to match.

Jon,

Of course I did that :) :) :)  It doesn't work and I am lost, that's
all the opening of several windows at least they pop up confuses me
until there is only one.. and it's like an empty Cygwin window...
and the X session is dead,, who knows like we haven't heard Vista
is full of bugs :( :( :(  any more ideas please let me know..

It seems far more likely this is a Cygwin/X problem than a Vista problem, and
I'd like to help you, but this is just far too vague a problem report for me
to suggest anything intelligent.
