Thanks for the link. Reading it prompted me to read the XDMCP Howto, which helped out significantly.
I followed the instructions in the XDMCP howto, and managed to connect no problem from one computer. However, when I follow exactly the same setup steps for Cygwin on another computer, I am unable to connect remotely to the XDM on my Linux machine. Xwin just opens with a blank screen. Both machines are on the same internal subnet and I am issuing the same command to both (Xwin -query 192.168.2.1). Is there any debugging information I can turn on to find out what machine #1 is doing that machine #2 is not? I even went as far as copying the Cygwin directory from the functional machine to the non-functional one in case there was a problem with the install, but that did not make a difference either. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
