I'm not too sure, what you are trying to do here. If you want to run a
program or an entire desktop on one computer and have the display on
another computer, that isn't all that difficult.

Look at this text:

Unlike the others in this thread, I recommend the use Xming as the Server.
Cygwin is not really being maintained anymore.
