Do you have TCP/IP installed. If you could get DX started then it is most likely your X-server problem. The OpenDx 4.0.6 for Windows works fine with Exceed 6.x, Sun's PC-Xware, NetManage UnixLink. I do not know anything about Exceed 5.x. Is Exceed 5.x X11R6 compliant? If not then that may be the cause of your problems.
The long delay and/or pause should not happen.
