Hey Slosh, another way to check if xdmcp is running is to run on the server machine (from an xterm) Xnest :1 -query 192.168.x.x (replace x's with your own IP address, don't use localhost) This will open an X within X and attempt to log in to the local system See these screenhots for an example (128 k upload sorry) http://rout.dyndns.org/Screenshot1.png (ready to log in) http://rout.dyndns.org/Screenshot2.png (miles running kde inside nick's gnome) > > --Slosh -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
