Hi all.... my first question to this forum so be gentle. I have two problems that seem to be related.
I have a home LAN setup with two FC4 boxes. On the first FC4 box, I have setup XDMCP, and can connect to the XDMCP via Xnest on the second box. This works: Xnest :1 -query <ip address> This tells me that XDMCP seems to be working properly on the first FC4 machine. However, using cygwin/Xfree on an XP Pro notebook I cannot connect. I continue to get the 'Too many retransmissions' message. I've tried the following combinations of commands: Xwin -query <ip address> Xwin -query <ip address> -from <local ip address> I have disabled completely the firewall on the XP Pro laptop, and have no clue as to why it's not connecting. Curiously enough though, I can bring the same laptop into the office connect it to the lan and use Xwin -query <ip address> To start an XDMCP session to a Solaris 8 machine. The second question is related, it involves XDMCP from the same laptop to the same sun machine over a VPN. Whenever I initialize an openvpn connection to the office, I can ping, telnet, surf the local intranet, etc, etc. all over the vpn with no difficulty. However, when I try to connect to the Solaris 8 host via xdmcp, I get the "Too many retransmissions" error after a couple of minutes. I've tried every set of Xwin command combinations I can think of, with no success.
