Dear Baiju,

Might be a name resolution problem
Run this script and see what errors you are getting

/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

Also check the logs:
~/.dt/errorlog
~/.dt/startlog
( ~ is the home directory)

Hope your network settings are correct.
Or else you try from another pc/workstation and see how it responds.

Regards,
Rasheed Tamton.

Shalom Baiju,

To be certain try the same connect by numeric ip address, not number.

If it works its name resolution. If it does not, its not.

Note that commonly used VLAN network configurations do not permit the use of xdmcp broadcaset, you may need to directly connect to the IP address of the box.
