Coming from a Win2K box to a UNIX box requires you to have XWin32 (a
Windows based X-server) to forward X to a PuTTY session. Unfortunately,
this product is no longer free, and that's about all I know about it (my
buddy used it, not me). Check it out online and see if it's worth it to
you... Hope this helps :)

P.S. You could try "export DISPLAY=":0.0"" in the PuTTY window (in bash)
and see if that works, but I doubt it. Worth a shot...
