It sounds like the Windows 7 firewall killed the x11 direct connections. You can test with telnet on other hosts, as 0.0 is port 6000: telnet desktop_id 6000 should connect. It may be windows firewall, or a Norton or Mcafee one, or both.
The putty makes it more secure, as the X goes through the putty SSH tunnel.
I prefer VNC for X, so the desktop is not on the PC, it is local to the apps, and you just run a vncviewer. You can run it through a tunnel, too: port 5900 supports remote 0:0 port 6000, 5901 for 6001, etc. You do not lose all X apps every time the PC is rebooted or network breaks.
