It sounds like you may just not have the X server running.  I think by
default Cygwin does not start it automatically.  I usually start it
explicitly when needed by typing:
  startxwin.sh

Then you should be able to connect using SecureCRT.  Of course, if
you're already running Cygwin, there's no reason to run a separate
terminal program.  From a Cygwin xterm, you can do:
  ssh -X somecfnmachine.uphs.upenn.edu

If somehow your DISPLAY variable isn't set, you can first do:
  export DISPLAY=:0
