There are two possible errors:
first, the xdm on the linux machine does not allow connects from your
windows box.
- check /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or (usr/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xaccess) if you windows
box is allowed to connect
second, the XServer does not allow connects from remote machines.
- try starting the Xserver with the switch "-ac". This will switch off
access control. Use this with caution since everybody on the network will
be able to connect to the xserver.
or
- run the command "xhost 192.168.1.1 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0" to allow
access from the linux box
