I am using Fedora Core3 on my system.
I have completed the procedure twice outlined in many XDMCP-HowTo documents.
When I attempt to connect to my system from my friend's one who is also running Fedora Core through XDMCP, the connection time out error pops up.
I have revised all X server configuration on my system, but failed. I am using XDM. The problem that I figure out is the output of the command:
netstat -l | grep xdmcp
There is no line I get; it means UDP port 177 is not open on my system. My system is simply a system just like anyother system on the local network.
We have dedicated server on our local network, and when i try to connect server through XDMCP from my system or my friend's one, it allows to connect. Its means X server is correctly configured on the server machine.
I don't understand why X server is not working on my system????
Any idea to turn on UDP explicitly? How should i tackle this problem???
Did you flush the firewall rules with iptable -f?
Can you ping?
Have you changed the Xaccess to allow everybody?
Also, do not trust netstat. xdmcp may not be registered. It is not on my system.
