Hi,

I have a windows host running FC5 on VMWare. I'd like to connect to
GDM via XDMCP. The following steps have been done:

  - Switched off iptables
  - Enabled remote login in gdmsetup

On the Windows host I have an installed CygWin/X. No, when I enter

  xwin.exe -query 192.168.1.129

(which is the VMWare guests IP address), I can see the following in Ethereal:

    XDMCP Query
    XDMCP Willing
    XDMCP Request
    XDMCP Accept
    XDMCP Manage

So far anything looks good. But after that point, nothing happens,
except that the XDMCP MANAGE packet is repeated over and over again.

Any ideas?


Regards,

Jochen
