Remote access using cygwin

[walkerf]

I have installed Cygwin on my Windows PC to remote access a ubuntu server.

After Cygwin install finished, I clicked the cygwin icon on the desktop to run it. I first ran "startxwin.bat" to start X window.
A window with a X icon on the top left title bar appeared, it seemed it was the X window, I am not sure whether it's the X window for I am new to Cygwin.

I then typed "ssh -X root@remote_IP_here" in the new X window, and got error:

Warning: untrusted X11 fowarding setup failed. xauth key data not generated

Warning:No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 fowarding

However, if I typed "ssh -X root@remote_IP_here" in the Cygwin's command line window not in the new opened X windwo, the connection is ok.

Where is wrong and how could I work around this problem? Thanks for help!

Who could tell me where is wrong, Thanks!

There may be something in the environment set up with the xterm's shell that is not the same as in the cygwin's normal bash shell. That's about as much as I can tell you, except that when I set up X-Windows on cygwin for my laptop, I configured it to not start an xterm, but just to start the X server, so I always ssh from the normal cygwin bash terminal window. When I connect to the remote system and start x applications, they show up just fine on my local display.
