Re: startx hangs on WinXP

["Jim Duda" <jduda at oasissemi dot com>]

Yes, I've tried using twm, and it appears to work fine.
I'm would prefer to use the multiwindow mode though, I'm just
not a big fan of twm.
 
I don't have a local firewall running on my machine.
 
Any further ideas on how to isolate?
 
Thanks,
 
Jim

Do you have a personal firewall or VPN software running? Try disabling
these.

You could try twm. At least it will reveal if other clients and window
manager
can connect to the xserver.
