Xserver remote help

[vash]

What I want to do is run a local X server and run applications on the remote server. Here are my quesitons:

1. What stable, debian packages do I need to install on my server in order to accomplish this?
2. I know I need to install Cygwin on my local machine, and "run" the X server, but how do I go about "connecting" to that machine?
3. Which ports do I need to forward in order oto get this running?

I've searched on Google and have come back confused, that's why I'm here, posting.

If you install an X app like ethereal it'll pull down xlibs and a few other packages that are enough to run X apps on a remote server.
