On your localmachine, from an xterm, type: xhost +remotehost

What if the remote machine is a winbox running Xwin32?

No difference. xhost +machine_wanting_to_use_X_services. Of course this would probably be a menu option somewhere.

X either doesn't start, or the display is on the server -- where it crashes (I think) if you try to give it input.

X doesn't start? X should be running on the winbox that you're exporting your display to using export DISPLAY=winbox:0

Keep in mind, that the X server is the machine that has the monitor, keyboard, mouse and sound card. The X client is the host on which your program runs - Netscape in this case.
