Re: Host Chooser Program?
Hmm, weird. Haven't had that combination before :) Could you please post me (not the list) your Xwin.log, and your launchx.bat file that XLauncher creates from one of these 95 machines, after running XLauncher on it? Hopefully that will turn up something. This is not a problem of XLauncher nor a direct problem of XWin. The cygwin layer can not handle the dynamic IP address and does always report 0.0.0.0 as address for the network interface. Even the -from parameter will not help here. The XServer has no possibility to get the local IP address to send it to the xdmcp server. To add this to the cygwin dll is with high priority on my todo list. bye ago Alex, this problem with Xlauncher happened when I used a fixed IP address, (not DHCP). I'll check the xwin.log and post it tomorrow 'cos I'm working from home today. Cheers, JS. _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

The xlauncher worked well on W2k, and did run on Win95 (configured with a fixed IP address - not dhcp) but didn't connect so I was just wondering if that was a win95 bug or not? Thanks, JS. It looks OK, its a pity it isn't in a free C/C++ though :) Under the other tab, there is an area down the bottom which may display an IP address. Does it? Yes it does. If not, then the xlauncher program hasn't worked out what the IP of the machine is, and won't pass the -from parameter, so will leave it to cygwin to work it out. Does X start when you use XWin -query yourhostIPhere -from yourdesktopIPhere ? (from a bash prompt, with the path set correctly ;) ) It does if I have a fixed IP address.

Re: Host Chooser Program?
Yep, There are lots of them :) I even wrote one :) http://xlauncher.sf.net It's written in Delphi though, so can't be included in the cygwin distribution :( Hopefully someone will start writing one in straight C/C++ calling the Win32 API, so it could go in cygwin, so people will stop writing their own in non-free languages every month ;-) Tim.
