RE: XFree86 4.2.0 under Cygwin on Win98 w/ i810 won't display CDE fro m HPUX

Thanks, Matt!

Adding "-from <<ip-address>>" on the unsociable PC's let them begin
"playing nicely on the playground" with my HP-UX system and CDE.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mike,
	Try adding -from your_ip_address in your XWin.exe command.  Windows
may be 
reporting a hostname that your sun box doesn't know how to translate back to

an IP.  And 0.0.0.0 in that error log seems to go well with that.  So then 
the full command you'd want to try would be:

XWin -query aa.bb.cc.dd -fp tcp/aa.bb.cc.dd:7000 -from aa.bb.cc.dd

Hope that works for you.
	- Matt
