XDMCP timed out, State=4 ...

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

I have WinNT and a Linux computer and when i am logging on Linux from the WinNT computer(with KEA!X) every 1-2 minutes i get the error msg:
XDMCP timed out, State=4 (CollectBroadcastQuery)
What do I need to do to solve this problem ?
I am new in this area, so i have configured the xdm service in rc.config file to be able to start netscape from WinNT on Linux. Also I am interessted to create an image of my Linux System which i could use every time when system crashes or if i would go back to an older configuration. For any informations i would be very happy ... Many thanks

Regards Murat

Hi,

Is there a set-up option to use 'passive' as the communications method ? In Hummingbird Exceed its in Xconfig - communications. Look for something similar with KEA!X and try that. Although xdm uses xdmcp (X display manager control protocol), it's really only used (as far as I know) to provide a graphical X logon / window manager menu, i.e. as an alternative to doing startx from the console line. As such, I've always though of xdm as functionally equivalent to gdm (gnome) or kdm (kde).
