6.8.1.0-1/XP-Pro 5.1 Cant open display 127.0.0.1:0.0

[george young <gry at ll dot mit dot edu>]

[Xwin 6.8.1.0-1, Windows XP pro 5.1, experienced with linux X, not a windows or cygwin hacker]
(Machine has Hummingbird Exceed installed but not running)
My first try at cygwin-x: 
Installed from web.
Clicked on the Cygwin icon.  Got a cygwin window.
Typed startxwin.sh
I see:

  welcome to the xwin X server
  vendor: the cygwin/X project
  Release: 6.8.1.0-1
  contact: cyg....
  XWin was started with the following command line:
  XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

  xterm Xt error: Can't open display 127.0.0.1:0.0

I tried "xdpyinfo -display :0.0", "xdpyinfo -display localhost:0.0";
I tried from a linux machine "xterm -display swine:0.0".  Nothing can
connect.  A "ps" shows a /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin process.  
I tried(after a clean reboot)
  "XWin -multiwindow -logverbose 3 -logfile xlog &"
same result -- can not connect to the xserver, though the process seems
to be running.

The xlog file tells me further:
  ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
  winIntializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768
  winIntializeDefaultScreens - Returning

What am I doing wrong?
