Have you enabled XDMCP over internet? Depending on whether you are running XDM, KDM or GDM, check
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config Comment out the appropriate line /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc Set Enable=true for [Xdmcp] /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf You may also have to alter you firewall rules to allow UDP packets to port 177.
