I do this on my own system, only logging into my Mandrake box from my 
Mac (running Mac OS X), and it works fine in console or X11 display 
mode. And I've used PuTTY to log into both of those from a Windows 2000 
machine, though not to run POV-Ray. What software are you using on the 
Windows machine? What do you use when locally connected?
My first guess is that the other poster is right, try turning display 
off. There's probably a way to run X11 programs from Windows, but I 
don't know about it.
