Is the supposed bug in xdm fixed (this is only the 2nd time i have heard of this)?

The bug is that xdm don't spend too much energy to find out the correct ip address. It just use the first address that is returned from DNS subsystem.

How did you guy�s get the x server to specify to use the local subnetted ip address? My 2 computers have 2 �outside ip�s� assigned by an isp which are connected by an ethernet hub (this gives me a local lan/subnet when configured in linux � 192.168.0.*). But when doing �X� (or xdm) it always wants to use the �outside� ip address, even after: X �query localhost1 (or 192.168.0.1) :1� it will want to default to the �outside ip host address� (i.e. 44.50.28.9 � isp static ip #) The local subnet is setup and ftp, telnet, samba, nfs all utilize the local lan/subnet (which makes good use of the 10/100 nic cards).

Dear
Roger:
Thank you for trying
our Xmanager software.
Your problem is
occurred because xdm has a small bug.
Even you specifies
local ip address, the remote xdm tries to find
again what address
to use in the X window connection.
The bug is that xdm
don't spend too much energy to find out
the correct ip
address. It just use the first address that is returned
from DNS
subsystem.
You can't solve this
problem without debugging of xdm program.
We recommend you to
use Xmanager program instead of
two Linux
computers.
