Re: Can't remote connect to XF86 on Win2K

[Nick THOMPSON <nickthompson at agere dot com>]

Exactly. If I use -indirect I can't even make local connections to the X
server - they just seem to hang. Becaue of this I can't do a 'xhost +'
to allow connection from a remote process. So it seems I have to get the
cookie correct. Unfortunately, your explaination lost me a little. Do I
have to generate a cookie, or should a cookie have been sent as part of
the XDMCP connection? Why would it work fine on Win95/98 and not Win2k?

Seems to be and FAQ on Win2k this one, but I can't find an answer.

Thanks,
Nick.

    Wgat do you mean with "indirect XDMCP"?
    Did you start the server with XWin -indirect login.server.name?

    The server wants the correct cookie which was set via XDMCP. On the
    X-Terminal the cookie should be set.
    
    try "xauth list $DISPLAY"
    
    On any other machine you have to set it manually via "xauth add"
    or use ssh -X to pass the cookie to the remote machine.
