Re: xdmcp error

Did you start a xwindows client session in client machine? Are you able to connect to that machine with ping? May be connectivity problem is there.

Post the steps you have tried?

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Try this? Is it working.

Rahim,
Do you have any VPN clients installed on your machine? Stop those if you have. Also stop any personal firewalls that you run.
