edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and
uncomment that line that disables XDMCP access.
Then after xdm rereads config
you can then connect.

Subject: RE: [ale] Remote X Woes: Follow-Up
There's another strange thing I've noticed. On my Win98 machine, my
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts table looks like this (I've put in
letters a, b, x, y to mask the real values):
a.b.1.176 JUPITER JUPITER.x.y
a.b.1.177 SATURN SATURN.x.y
a.b.1.137 phobos phobos.x.y
Phobos is the Win98 machine, jupiter is RH 6.0, saturn is RH 6.1. When I
ping jupiter from phobos I get:
C:\>ping jupiter
Pinging jupiter [172.25.1.176] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from a.b.1.176: bytes=32 time=25ms TTL=255
Reply from a.b.1.176: bytes=32 time=26ms TTL=255
Reply from a.b.1.176: bytes=32 time=57ms TTL=255
Reply from a.b.1.176: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=255
and all is right with the world. But, when I ping saturn from phobos I get:
C:\>ping saturn
Pinging saturn [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Why the heck is the ping to saturn saying 127.0.0.1 instead of a.b.1.177???
Saturn is the machine that won't respond to an XDMCP broadcast mentioned
below, and I have also noticed that whereas I have Samba running on saturn
and jupiter, saturn won't show up in Network Neighborhood.
