Well, it sound to me like it had nothing to do with your Windows updates. Why would it? (Don't answer that.) You don't have firewall software installed on your Windows machine, do you?
I am not sure precisely what is going on, but this line: dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0
seems to indicate that xdm is trying to connect back to your Windows machine using a UNIX domain socket (which doesn't go between machines). On the other hand, that could just be XDM's standard logfile notation and it may indicate that it is using TCP/IP.
In any case, I would do some searching about what that log line is supposed to look like and see if it mentions anything about TCP/IP and UNIX domain sockets. That would at least get you started.

Hi
I am using cygwin/XFree86 on a Win2k computer to communicate with my linux box (Slackware version). I successfully configured both systems so that I was able to log in via XDM into my linux box.
However, recently this has stopped working. My XDM
queries now go unanswered. I suspect that this has to
do with some Windows security updates that I had
applied.
The xdm logs in my linux box shows the following: xdm error (pid 2339): server open failed for dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0, giving up xdm error (pid 81): Display dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0 cannot be opened xdm error (pid 81): Display dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0 is being disabled
It sounds like the problem is in my Win2k machine. I am not a Win2k expert, so I don't know where to look for clues. Suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
