Ubuntu, emacs, vista help

Folks,
I need some help!

Please understand that I have searched and read tons of how-to's and other documents in researching this and getting Putty, Cygwin, and emacs running on the Vista machine.

I have a Ubuntu headless server i am trying to configure as my gateway system for the house network. My main workstation is a VISTA windows box. I have installed X-windows - Cygwin and Cygwin-x, Putty and emacs on the vista machine.

I need to edit configuration files on the Ubuntu box, using emacs with the display on the vista machine. I can use putty to log into the ubuntu box but I don't know the command to get emacs to load a file from the ubuntu box.

Please provide as detailed as possible directions. I am just getting back into UNIX after 10 years of windows only. I know that I used to do this all the time back in my graduate days, but can't seem to get it working now. I can use emacs to edit files on the local vista box fine. I can use Putty to log into the ubuntu console. That leads me to believe that the parts are all working, I just don't know how to tell them what exactly to do....

Please assume total ignorance on my part in providing directions.
pointers to good documentation is always welcome, what a wonderfull learning exercise this is becoming....
