The WIN/TCP DECwindows transport works fine here between our VAXcluster
running VMS 5.3-1, our DECstations (3100 w/R4, 5000 w/DECwindows), and
our Suns (X11R4).

There are a couple of things to check:

  1.  Make sure you did an xhost on the server for the VMS system
      that's trying to open the window(s).

  2.  Make sure you've installed the DECW$TRANSPORT_WINTCP.EXE image.
      I put the following command in TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.MISC]INSTALL.COM:

        sys$share:decw$transport_wintcp /open/share/head/prot

      so that it gets installed automatically whenever WIN/TCP is 
      started.
