To set the environment variable DISPLAY for XFree I use the following command
export DISPLAY=`\ ipconfig | grep 'IP-Adresse' | \ sed 's/\(.*: \)\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\2/g'`:0.0 'IP-Adresse' must be replaced with the proper version according to you language.

I can think of a few ways, but all of them involve either non-cygwin programs or writing your own. The simplest (on Win2k) is to parse the output of either "nslookup `hostname`" or "ipconfig". I'm also sure there's a programmatic way to do this -- and if you do figure this one out, please consider submitting a patch for "hostname" (which is part of the sh-utils package) to implement the "-i" option.
