Hi All,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would stop xhost allowing 
incoming connections for other xserver on the same network.

I do a xhost + 192.168.0.10 on the machine I am sitting at. (192.168.0.1)
I then telnet to the 192.168.0.10 and in the csh, run setenv DISPLAY 
192.168.0.1:0.0 and then run the program, ie: xsane for instance.

Nothing then happens, if I strace the program, it sitts there waiting for a 
response to its connect statement, it is pointing at the correct ip address.

It used to work, I have in host.allow on 192.168.0.1 the line ALL: 
192.168.0.10 to allow all connections.I tried to use the tiny firewall, but 
each time I run it and check the hosts.* file, the hosts.* files are 
commented out. Is this normal.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mandrake 8.0 on celeron 466, 256 Ram kernel 2.4

Thanks.
Dave
