Mario,
From what I know, doing this doesn't always work:

What you need to do instead is:
install@MUNICH ~
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin
install@MUNICH /usr/X11R6/bin
$ ./XWin.exe &
install@MUNICH /usr/X11R6/bin
$ ./xterm.exe &
Now, from the xterm in Cygwin/XFree86 (you are getting a Cygwin/XFree86
window, right? If not something else is broken and you need to send in
/tmp/XWin.log) run the ssh command:
[xterm window]
install@MUNICH /usr/X11R6/bin
$ ssh -X dex@192.168.10.123
Now you can run xclock and it should work.
