I have two main boxes running, 11.2 which I replaced and relegated to server status for email and http, and 11.4 as main box.

I can access 11.2 from 11.4 and my wife's win7 (cygwin w/X and/or putty) box via ssh -X w/o any problem. Can run X apps w/o a problem.
But with identical /etc/ssh/ssh{d}_config files I cannot forward X from 11.4 to the win7 box. I get: ssh -X user@192.168.1.10 xterm Password: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set
In these identical sshd_config you specifically have uncommented and changed the X11Forwarding line to say "yes" ? (it is set to no by default).

And since its a different machine, perhaps you use a different putty profile, does the putty profile for the 11.4 machine have Enable X11 checked?
no putty involved, ssh running on both machines. 192.168.1.3 does forward X 192.168.1.10 does *not* forward X accessing from the win7 box I use xterm from cygwin.
