My net configuration is fairly simple. It is a local 10Base-T with 4 systems on it(Win2k, linux and 2 Win98). The Win2k is the firewall to Starband sat connection. The thur-put is around 75% 800Kbyte per seconds in both directions. Other network applications works flawlessly include XWin32 if I start it without XDMCP. Spray from Linux has zero packet drop as well. > > You still haven't told us the speed of the network between the machines. > Cable modems do not work as fast as 10Base-T, so XDMCP doesn't > usually work > very well over a cable modem. Sorry about that it is 10Mbit. I been around this type of network for years and most of the time I can smell a network problem. I think the simple answer is that I don't understand xdmcp very well and I have something configured wrong. I have been able to get a XDMCP login for a while. I just bounced the Linux server in hopes that will help. It seems to have help. I will keep you posted. Also I am using static IPs for the local area. thanks for all your help. -- Darryl Wagoner - WA1GON Your phone line can be the life line for the unemployed.
