Yes, I've read the information at the link you provided. It says to open port 177/UDP and ports 6000-6005(TCP). But it doesn't say whether that applies to the PC where the X-server is running, or just the xdmcp host. I'm 99% sure I've got those ports open on my CentOS host (the xdmcp server). There's a GUI screen specifically for doing that. And I've done it. But I don't know whether the ports are open on my Windows PC where the X-server is running. I turned my Windows firewall off. But I don't know if that opens the ports. So I have two questions. First, do I even need to open the ports on Windows? Second, how do I do it? I think I really need a Windows XP firewall/ports expert. But I don't know where to find one. If any here knows how to tell what ports are open in Windows, please respond.
Thanks for your recommendation. X23G8c wrote: > > > You've read this, yes? > > http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-xdmcp-query > > Specifically, check your Windows firewall config.
