Thanks to those who responded (unfortunately Outlook has thrown a wobbler and I have lost their names). Problem was caused through xfree86 not having the correct fonts available. When pointed at a font server running on one of the sparcs everything worked OK.

When trying to connect to any of our 3 sparc boxes (2 x e250 + 1 x ultra 1 enterprise) nothing happens. cygwin/xfree86 just displays a black screen with the outline of the Solaris hour glass on it. "ps -ef | grep dt", of the sparcs shows the a "dtgreet -display networkadmin:0" when trying top connect form host networkadmin. However that process disappears after about 60 seconds. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening and how it can be resolved?
