This is the normal behaviour. After using xdmcp, you can only connect from
the remote machine.

You can run xhost + from the remote session

The cookie is generated by xdm. After you logged into your linux, sunos,
or whatever unix you use, you already have the cookie in the unix session.
Try "xauth list $DISPLAY" from a shell in the unix session.
To connect from the windows host, set the cookie: "xauth add <the output of
xauth list above>"

it is created by xdm (the login manager) and only know on the remote machine
and by your xserver. None of the local xclients know this cookie and can
connect.

There should be no difference between 9x and NT
