I've tried both cleared and set X11 forwarding
checkbox in PuTTY, both as root and non-root
and only get:
$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
In the Xming log nothing happens at all (attached below).
Is maybe WinXP firewall inbetween, do I need to open
some port? (Xming asked me to do that during its startup,
and I did so - clicked the "Unblock" button)
Regards
Alex
