As the "old" Win95 server _is known to be faulty_ Can I suggest you
start with Harold's test server release, and then work from there?

I am sincerely sorry to report that none of the suggestion from Clive
and
Suhaib did not succeed :
> Can you try adding -ac to the XWin command line
> instead of using xhost (temporarily..)
> XWin95 :0 -from 129.227.62.61 -query 129.227.62.246 && xhost + &
So, to sum up the situation, here are the various stuff I have tried so
far,
to no avail :
DHCP vs. fixed IP
-from <my ip> vs. nothing
-ac vs. & host +
XWin95 ... && xhosts + & vs.
XWin95 .... & xhosts + &
export OS="" vs. export OS=" " vs. no OS environnement variable
XWin95 :0 ...
Clive buttler suggested a possible explanation in :
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg00325.html
and in :
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg00328.html
But none of them seem convincing, since -ac still does not allow XDMCP
to
work. So I am back at square one (well, almost...)
Any other suggestion is thus still welcome...
