Although it states it is only for supporting Windows 95/98/Me, it may work to get your functionality back. As for me, should no solution be forthcoming to resolve my issue, I will likely do the same.

Michael, I must admit that my frustration with this problem, accompanied by the loss of my windows box with the 1.5 install, has caused me to look elsewhere for a solution. I have installed XMING, and it seems to work just fine. Unfortunately, XMING is an XSERVER only... so, I've kept my Cygwin-xfree install for the other X tools. I'll keep monitoring this list in the hopes of a fix to the problem. I might add that I couldn't get XMING to work until I was able to specify to its Xserver the address of my Font-Server. -tony -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Paxton, Michael Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 9:53 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: 1.7.1: no xdmcp login prompt after upgrade Tony, As I noted in my problem, the iptrace ran on the remote host and therefore is from the perspective of the remote. Nonetheless, each packet in the trace report displays both the source and destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports. You correctly observe that you are getting farther than I, in that I never receive the logon prompt. By the way, although my iptrace report is from an AIX remote host, I have tested this against RHEL3 and OEL5 remote hosts with the same results. Again, my Cygwin/X 1.5.25 client logs on and functions correctly to all remote hosts. Respectfully, D.

I ask because I too am using 1.7.3 with "-query" and I'm having problems... but only after "successfully" logging onto the remote system. Meaning I'm getting further than you. Here's my "startup" (note I'm using a fontserver on the XDM host): XWin -logverbose 255 \ -ac \ -query dmsdev.con-way.com \ -fp \"tcp/dmsdev.con-way.com:8000,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/ 75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/\" " Thanks, -tony -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
