ssh X11 forwarding not working on FreeBSD 6.2

I have installed Xming successfully on a Windows XP system. 
It works OK to a FC6 system and an older UNIXware system. 
 
However when trying to connect to a FreeBSD 6.2 system with PuTTY
ssh it doesn't work.  PuTTY has Enable X11 forwarding checked.
 
Here's what I get: 
 
$ 
$ xhost 
Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server 
Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted 
xhost: unable to open display "localhost:10.0" 
$ 
 
What can be wrong? 
 
I have ssh configured as follows: 
# grep X11 /etc/ssh/* 
/etc/ssh/ssh_config:ForwardX11 yes 
/etc/ssh/ssh_config:ForwardX11Trusted yes 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11Forwarding yes 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11DisplayOffset 10 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11UseLocalhost yes 
 
Here is the Xming log file:
