Re: too many retransmissions - with Linux Mandrake


Hi,

Just thinking, I'm fairly sure the network is working happily, I can use ssh
with out problem, and run X apps on the linux box, displaying on the NT box.
I can even use launch cygwin X, ssh into the linux bottom, set DISPLAY and
run startkde, at which point KDE loads happily on the cygwin display, it's
just the XDMCP stuff thats not running.
