Hi Harold, Sorry for the confusion its been a bit blurry since the weekend but a few coffees later and I'm better now. I was talking about startxwin.sh(bat) as you guessed. Upon closer inspection I have modified this file at a previous time and that's the reason that the remote connection was being made.
The workaround that you suggested works a treat. Cheers. Scott. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold Hunt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Scott Alexander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 12:48 PM Subject: RE: XDMCP error > Scott, > > > startxwin.exe -query <server name> > > I don't understand, there is no startxwin.exe file distributed with > Cygwin/XFree86.
