| May 8, 2015 at 16:04 | comment | added | SeeJayEmm | Correction, it is not listening at all. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 15:35 | comment | added | SeeJayEmm | So I think I've identified part of the problem. It appears that every time I start CygX is listens on a different (random) port number not the base port of tcp 6000. I haven't figured out the next step though. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 11:05 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @lcd047 No. Please check your facts. If the X11 forwarding happens, then DISPLAY points to localhost. SSH listens on a TCP port on the remote machine and forwards the packets. If DISPLAY pointed to the local machine, that would indicate that it is not forwarded through SSH, but on a direct TCP connection — in cleartext, and possibly to an IP address that doesn't even have a route. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 4:08 | comment | added | lcd047 | @Gilles: The point I was trying to make was that since $DISPLAY on the remote machine doesn't point to the OP's desktop, the X11 forwarding didn't happen. Otherwise, $DISPLAY on the remote machine might not even exist if the remote machine isn't running an X server itself (which has nothing to do with the initial question anyway). | |
| May 7, 2015 at 21:58 | comment | added | SeeJayEmm | I installed 32 bit Cygwin to eliminate Cygwin64 as a variable. No change. Still receiving the connection refused error. | |
| May 7, 2015 at 20:41 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @lcd047 No, absolutely now. $DISPLAY on the remote machine should point to localhost. SSH does the forwarding. | |
| May 7, 2015 at 17:07 | comment | added | lcd047 | $DISPLAY on the remote machine should point to the address of your desktop, not localhost. | |
