Re: Not able to connect to Unix server through GUI
In other words, ReflectionX is sending packets to the Unix box but is getting nothing at all back - not even a "connection refused" message.
Most likely this means there's a firewall between your Windows workstation and the Unix box. Or it might be an IPFilter software package on the Unix box, or some "personal firewall" software on the Windows workstation. Whatever it is, it's dropping the packets associated with your connection.
Find the firewall and configure/have it configured to allow your connection.
If there is no firewall, this might be caused by some fairly serious configuration problems in your network, or perhaps failing network hardware.
Remember that an X GUI connection using XDMCP actually uses multiple network-level connections. See the diagram on this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xdmcp
The XDMCP protocol is used for session setup only: the XDMCP connection is formed from your Windows box to the UDP port 177 of your Unix box. When the session starts up, each individual X GUI program will connect from the Unix box to TCP port (6000 + your display number, usually 0) of your Windows box.

Re: Not able to connect to Unix server through GUI
additionally you can check out the followings
1. enable CDE
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
Ensure the initdefault level in /etc/inittab is 3
2. start CDE
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
then try to login

Re: Not able to connect to Unix server through GUI
What version of HP-UX are you using? I had the same problem on HP-UX 11i v3. Turned out that CDE is optional in this version. I just installed the CDE package, start it then everything is fine.

Re: Not able to connect to Unix server through GUI
(What a user name!)
I think the solution is just above your post - check if CDE is installed.
If it isn't, install it.
You have basically the same answer in your own thread:

Hope this helps!
