Jared,

When using the Xserver included with a recent Cygwin distro, an xhost
command is not required.

C:\cygwin\release\> cygwin.bat
pdrake@valkyrie ~
$ startx

spawns an xterm ...

$ ssh -X bdbafh@destructobox
bdbafh@destructobox's password:
Last login ...
bdbafh@destructobox ~]$ su - oracle
oracle@destructobox ~]$ cd Ora10gR1dbsvrlinx86/Disk1
oracle@destructobox ~]$ sh runInstaller

and OUI is off and running ...

Provided that you start an xserver first, then use that xterm to
connect with the "-X" switch, the xforwarding is done within the ssh
tunnel.
