Hi! I've installed cygwin/xwin on my Windows XP machine so that I can connect to other hosts using XDMCP; ie. I want to run XWin.exe -query host.
I'm succesfull in doing so when I'm connect to a certain part of the company LAN network. However, from another part of the network, I cannot. I'm trying to connect to HP-UX 11.00B workstations. In /var/dt/Xerrors I get: Xlib: connection to "0.0.0.0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Xlib: connection to "0.0.0.0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Xlib: connection to "0.0.0.0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Xlib: connection to "0.0.0.0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Xlib: connection to "0.0.0.0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Wed Nov 27 08:47:46 2002 error (pid 4808): Server open attempt #0 failed for 0.0.0.0:0, giving up At the same time, my XWin.log contains: Fatal server error: XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 6 failed for display 0.0.0.0:0: Cannot open display Any ideas about what I'm missing? What's striking me, is that I'm able to connect to the workstations from certain parts of our network with the exact same setup - of course the IP adresses and routing is different.
