Help with exporting DISPLAY from Linux to Windows XP

Hi Experts,

I am using Cygwin and Xming server to bring back the display from Linux to a Windows machine.

I am following the below steps :-

1. Close down all X Servers
2. Run XMing – XLaunch
3. Select Multiple
4. Select Start no clients
5. Tick No Access Control box
6. Click Finish
7. X Server starts and you should see icon in tray
8. Run Putty/SSH in Cygwin
9. SSH to server you want to connect to
10. Enter: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0 (replace 192.168.0.1 with your IP)
11. Run dbca.

On using similar steps i can bring back the display from some Linux servers, but not from others, can you please let me know what the problem is and what things i need to verify.

I am not getting any error, some of the last lines from the message in the log states :-

winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned.
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.
winClipboardProc - Hello
DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows XP
winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.
winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display.

I did a grep X11 /etc/ssh/* the result is as following :-

/etc/ssh/ssh_config:ForwardX11 yes
grep: can't open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
grep: can't open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:# X11 tunneling options
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11Forwarding yes
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11DisplayOffset 10
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11UseLocalhost yes

Your help wud be highly appreciated...

ssh-copy-id

SSH-COPY-ID(1)						      General Commands Manual						    SSH-COPY-ID(1)

NAME

       ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine

DESCRIPTION

       ssh-copy-id  is	a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
       rized_keys file.

       If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in  your
       ssh-agent.  Otherwise, if this:

	     ssh-add -L

       provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.

       If  the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file.  Once it has one or more fin-
       gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
       if necessary.)

NOTES

       This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
       its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability  disabled  manu-
       ally, e.g. via

	     chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

       on the remote machine.
