RE: XDMCP starting problems on Win2k & RH 7.2

["Darryl Wagoner" <darryl at shecora dot com>]

Greetings,

Yep change the port to 177 start to show packets moving back and forth.
At some point a login screen came up.  I repeated and got the login
screen fairly quickly.  Try again and it has been waiting for about 
10 mins and still no screen.  I can see packets, but that is about it?

Any ideas?
