this means either: there are no host on the local subnet which are willing to let you connect via XDMP or some thing is scrod in your config files (like wdm is looking at xmd's config or some other random weirdness). I've always found Linux XDMP (well XFree86 I guess) to be kind of tempermental, I don't know where you're machine is network wise, but if there's any Solaris boxen available try: X -indirect solaris.my.network making the apropriate name change, if this machine is on the same subnet you could verify if there's simply no hosts willing to talk XDMP. -Jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysadmin to the stars
