How do know which which ports are open on a Windows PC? I need ports 177/UDP and 6000-6006/TCP open for xdmcp -query. (Or so I understand. I can't find any clear instructions on this.) At cygwin shell prompt I enter netstat -na |grep 600* I get this: UDP0.0.0.0:6000 *:* UDP

You've read this, yes? http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-xdmcp-query Specifically, check your Windows firewall config. You will need to explicitly open the X11 port, as there is, IIUC, no outgoing packet from that port. HTH, Mike -- Unsubscribe

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).
