Re: Can't use XDMCP, "winProcEstablishConnection - ProcEstablishConnection failed, bailing" shows in log
The Windows PC that I'm using is on a different subnet from the VMs
that I need to connect to (10.3.20.159/24), so does that mean it's not
possible to use Cygwin/X in this case? (Changing either subnet is not
an option).
