Hi, I'm sorry if my words is not helping you, but I would want share my experience with you about what I do in this issue. I install Cygwin/X in my windows computer, and you have to do 2 steps now ... 1) In your linux computer, where you want install Oracle, export display from the user that you are using for installing Oracle as: export DISPLAY=IP:*0.0. *(where IP is the IP of windows computer) 2) And the most important now, you have to allow the remote host access for doing connections in your X Window Server (in your windows computer where GUI will be showed), it is with (I run it from a xterm or any terminal interface with which you can run commands): xhost + (if you put + it will allow connections from any computer, if you want more security, you should put: xhost IP (IP from linux computer). I've not used exceed, I'm sorry, but it should be similar. I'm spanish, so I'm sorry if my english is not correct.
