XWin/xdmcp fails after PC domain change

[Greg Dotts]

Hello Alexander,

I have just now solved the problem.  Apparently during the domain 
join/unjoin the DNS Suffix in System Properties>Computer Settings was 
removed leaving just the host name of the PC.  Replacing the DNS suffix 
of my internal domain name fixed the problem.  Not sure why???  Perhaps 
a DNS issue - Dynamic Updates issue maybe???

To answer your question, yes I did try the "-from localipaddress" option 
which had no effect.  Once again not sure why.

Perhaps a list member with more knowledge can clarify.

Thanks for the suggestion
