X11 and XEmacs

I run Windows XP at home and my university network uses Linux. I've
been wanting a way to connect to the university network from home, and
so a while back I installed Putty. The problem was that using xemacs
was a hassle because it just opens in the terminal and is therefore
cumbersome to use. When I found out about X11, I installed cygwin-x and
XEmacs on my Windows XP computer at home, in the hopes that opening
Xemacs in Putty would now result in the file being opened in my Windows
XEmacs installation. I left the default tunnels setting at localhost:0
because I wasn't sure what this should be. But now when I connect with
the university network through putty and type "xemacs," there is no
response at all. It doesn't open in the terminal nor in Windows.

Can anyone give a suggestion on how to configure my Windows XEmacs with
Putty?
Thanks,
Gabriel
