OK, this clears some points:

It seems that "xauth" is not installed or not in the path. Maybe in the XMing server you said you are using the tool is named differently or there is some dialog, ... I have no idea, because i have not used XMing. You will have to be creative or ask a Windows expert (i am glad to say i do not have to work with this OS). The "xauth" tool allows/disallows the X-clients (XTerm, XClock, ...) from certain hosts to use the resources of the local X-server (i.e. display their window on the screen provided and managed by the X-server). Search for something like "authentication" or so and probably you will find it.

Good. This tells the starting X-client which server it should (try to) utilise. techy1 has a point here, it might be that with firewall redirections, etc., you need to use "localhost" instead of your IP address, because the traffic is tunnelled and the tunnel comes out at 127.0.0.1.

This is definitely the wrong place to do it. X-server authentication has nothing to do with firewall rules. It is part of the configuration of the application. See above, you should check the programs installed with this XMing product you mentioned. It should be configured there.

I hope this helps.

remote-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				     remote-filesystems(7)

NAME

       remote-filesystems - event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started to manage remote filesystems.  When it occurs, local filesystems such as /usr
       may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once remote filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on remote-filesystems

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
