Re: XDMCP phenomenon


Hi Holger,

thanks! That brought me onto the right track.

I had checked for name resolution to work on the Cygwin box (nslookup in DOS window), so I never tried using the ip address directly; but in Windows' hosts file (which Cygwin symlinks) there was a wrong entry for my servers.

Stupid mistake, sorry for disturbing, I should have found THAT on my own.

Thanks for your help!

Dirk

did you try X -query numeric.ip.address -from x.server.address ?
