Can't use XDMCP, "winProcEstablishConnection - ProcEstablishConnection failed, bailing" shows in log

[Alexander Pokluda <apokluda at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I've been trying for a while to get Cygwin/X working with XDMCP for
quite a while without any success; however, I am able to conenct
without any any problem using Xming 6.9. I'm using a Windows 7 PC to
connect to a different Linux VMs running CentOS 5.5. After starting
XWin from the command line (either directly or using startxdmcp.bat),
a window opens up that contains nothing but black. At first when I
move the cursor over the winodow, it just disappears but after a
while, the cursor will appear as an X and the following shows up in
the log file:

[266377.900] winProcEstablishConnection - Hello
[266377.900] winProcEstablishConnection - ProcEstablishConnection
failed, bailing.
[266385.653] winAboutDlgProc - WM_COMMAND - IDOK or IDCANCEL
[266489.784] XDM: too many retransmissions, declaring session dead

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've included part of the log
from one attempt to connect to one of the CentOS 5.5 VMs that I can
connect to with Xming using XDMCP.

Sincerely,

Alexander Pokluda
