Re: "-query" not working on cygwin/windows


This is an update on my hard-fought attempt to get "-query" access to a linux
xdmcp server running CentOS 5 from my Windows PC running cygwin-x.

I installed X-Win32 (a commercial X-server) on my Windows PC. Unlike
cygwin-x and Xming the X-Win32 server does detect available xdmcp hosts when
I use the "-broadcast" switch. But I can only get a login prompt one of
them, an HPUX host. My linux box is in the broadcast list but X-Win32 won't
connect to it. No reason or error message is given. I may go ahead and
purchase a copy X-Win32 just so I can get their tech support people
involved.

Anyway, my question is, why won't cygwin-x bring up the same "-broadcast"
list as X-Win32?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
