I'm trying to get Exceed 2006, an X-Windows client to some Unix boxes, working over SecureClient. As long as I'm not VPNed in and I'm on the LAN, it works fine so I know I have the desktop security policy right.

When I fire up Exceed, it is set to do an XDMCP broadcast to 192.168.2.255 rather than its default broadcast address of 255.255.255.255. I couldn't get the default to work on just the LAN for whatever reason. The Unix boxes are in another state.

Watching the SecureClient log viewer, I see the broadcast go out with an Encrypt action but nothing comes back from the server on 192.168.2.1. When I watch the log viewer on the LAN, I can see the Unix box come back immediately with its X-11 traffic and I get the correct login screens.

The 192.168.2.0/24 network is part of the encryption domain and I can ping the Unix box or telnet to it when VPNed in. I had explicit rules to allow X-11 traffic before any "any service" rules and that didn't help. I even made the dbedit change so FW-1 won't reject X-11 traffic. I even put a laptop with a static IP on the FW-1 internal interface network just to assure myself that all of the routing is correct.

Frankly, I'm totally stumped. It feels like FW-1 is not allowing the 192.168.2.255 broadcast out even though it's showing Encrypt.

Any guesses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ray
