xdmcp and gdm problems


I've got two computers, both running Debian, gdm and XFree86. I've tried to configure them identically (gdm.conf, host.allow, /etc/init.d/gdm, etc) I'm trying to connect to them via xdmcp from two different computers (one Solaris and one Windows).
One ot the computers work fine, I get the gdmlogin screen when I do a "X -query firstmachine", on the other (gurkan) I just get a gray screen.

This is the output from netstat:
Code:
gurkan:~# netstat -nap | grep gdm
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* 1968/gdm
so it seems to be listen on the right port. When I try to connect to this computer (gurkan) snort gives me this:
Code:
gurkan:~# snort -v port 177
Running in packet dump mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort

In other words, it seems to send four packages back-and-forth, and then nothing.

Also, when doing a "X :1 -query localhost" on that machine (gurkan) it works fine.

Anybody got any suggestions what might be wrong?
