I'm trying to connect a Windows XP laptop to my fedora core 1 box via
X-Win32, a vnc-like software product for Windows which I've been using
to connect to my redhat 7x server at work. But I'm not having any luck.
Fedora Core uses gdm by default, so I've edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf so
that under the [xdmcp] section I have Enable=true.
I've edited /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config so that I've commented out the line:
#DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
I've edited /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess so that
* CHOOSER BROADCAST
is not commented out.
Thinking that the problem may be firewall related, I killed all my
iptables firewall rules, but I still can't get a login connection.
xdmcp seems to be workeng when I'm local to the fedora core box ('X :1
-query localhost' works.)
Anybody care to offer a suggestion on getting this to work?
Thanks,
Tim
